Our argument is that sonic rhetoric and rhetorical genre theory might be employed in taking up calls for classroom genre scholarship to focus on temporality, unfolding, and lived relationships between genres. In making this argument, we will first review some key scholarship in rhetorical genre theory and soundscape studies. We will then explore how the intersection of that scholarship may offer a more complex understanding of genre, unfolding through qualitative analysis of seven writing-intensive classroom soundscapes.

Departing from systemic-functional studies of the genre of face to face shopping, the paper provides a cartography of an online fashion shopping site, showing how it consists of an array of micro genres (themselves hybrids of genres such as advertisements, fashion spreads, lifestyle magazine articles and Instagram style social media photography) which can be navigated in different ways, yet always connect to purchase options. Multimodally, online fashion shopping entextualizes face to face fashion shopping and in the process transduces embodied modes of communication into text and image, relying a great deal more on language than its face to face equivalent.

Studies in Information publishes monographs on critical issues in the information society. The book series is concerned with all aspects of information; its nature, politics, institutions, usages, and technologies, and it presents research from a wide range of disciplinary traditions. Previously published as Library and Information Science, it is a fully peer-reviewed and high impact outlet for research in the field of information. This new volume, edited by Jack Andersen, is the first to be published under the new series name Studies in Information. The book highlights the important role genre theory plays within information studies. It illustrates how modern genre studies inform and enrich the study of information, and conversely how the study of information makes its own independent contributions to the study of genre. Various original contributions scrutinize core aspects of information and knowledge organization, such as information systems and distributed authorship; personal information management; and records management in organizations, all through the lens of genre.

One fruitful line of research has been to explore the local linguistic as well
as global rhetorical patterns of particular genres in order to identify their recognizable
structural identity, or what Bhatia (1999: 22) calls ‘generic integrity’. In terms of
methodology, to date most genre-based studies have employed one or the other of
Swales’ (1981/1990) move-analytic models of text analysis to investigate whether or
not the generic prototypical patterns that he has introduced exist universally. This
paper, however, considers the application of the Systemic Functional (SF) theory of
language to genre analysis. The paper looks, in particular, at distinctive rhetorical
features of English newspaper editorials as an important public ‘Cinderella’ genre
and proposes a generic prototypical pattern of text development for editorials or what
Halliday and Hasan (1989) refer to as the Generic Structure Potential (GSP) of a
genre. The results of this study should benefit both genre theory and Systemic Functional
Linguistics (SFL) and will be, it seems, of interest not only to applied linguists,
but to those involved in education, journalism, and the media.

The main argument is that the market-based categoriesof genre that have been developed in the context of video games obscure the new medium’s crucial
defining feature, by dividing them into categories (loosely) organized by their similarities to prior forms of
mediation. The article explores the inherent tension between the conception of video games as a unified new
media form, and the current fragmented genre-based approach that explicitly or implicitly concatenates
video games with prior media forms. This tension reflects the current debate, within the fledgling discipline
of Game Studies, between those who advocate narrative as the primary tool for understanding video games,
“narratologists,” and those that oppose this notion, “ludologists.” In reference to this tension, the article
argues that video game genres be examined in order to assess what kind of assumptions stem from the uncritical
acceptance of genre as a descriptive category. Through a critical examination of the key game genres,
this article will demonstrate how the clearly defined genre boundaries collapse to reveal structural similarities
between the genres that exist within the current genre system, defined within the context of visual
aesthetic or narrative structure. The inability of the current genre descriptions to locate and highlight these
particular features suggests that to privilege the categories of the visual and narrative is a failure to understand
the medium. The article concludes by suggesting that the tension between “ludology” and
“narratology” can be more constructively engaged by conceptualizing video games as operating in the
interplay between these two taxonomies of genre.

This study examines how changes in a key scientific genre supported anthropology’s early twentieth-century bid for scientific status. Combining spatial theories of genre with inflections from the register of economics, I develop the concept of rhetorical scarcity to characterize this genre change not as evolution but as manipulation that produces a manufactured situation of intense rhetorical constraint.

Informed by rhetorical genre theory, activity
theory, and the notion of Communities of Practice, this study explores a pedagogical genre at play in university mathematics lecture classrooms. The genre is
mediational in that it is a tool employed in the activity of teaching. The data
consist of audio/video-recorded lectures, observational notes, semistructured
interviews, and written artifacts collected from 50 participants who
differed in linguistic, cultural, and educational backgrounds; teaching experience;
and languages of instruction. The study suggests that chalk talk, namely,
writing out a mathematical narrative on the board while talking aloud, is
the central pedagogical genre of the undergraduate mathematics lecture
classroom. Pervasive pedagogical genres, like chalk talk, which develop within
global disciplinary communities of practice, appear to override local differences
across contexts of instruction. Better understanding these genres may
lead to new insights regarding academic literacies and teaching.

by drawing on an illustrative example of an engineering genre-competence
assessment. The initial outcomes of this diagnostic assessment suggest that
students’ ability to successfully identify and characterize rhetorical and textual
features of a genre does not guarantee their successful writing performance
in the genre. Although previous active participation in genre
production (writing) seems to have a defining influence on students’ ability
to write in the genre, such participation appears to be a necessary but insufficient
precondition for genre-competence development. The authors discuss
the usefulness of probing student antecedent genre knowledge early in communication
courses as a potential source for macrolevel curriculum decisions
and microlevel pedagogical adjustments in course design, and they
propose directions for future research.

Genre Studies around the Globe: Beyond the Three Traditions exemplifies rich and vibrant international scholarship in the area of non-literary genre studies in the early 21st century. Based on the "Genre 2012" conference held in Ottawa, Canada, the volume brings under one cover the three Anglophone traditions (English for Specific Purposes, the Sydney School, Rhetorical Genre Studies) and the approaches to genre studies developed in other national, linguistic, and cultural contexts (Brazilian, Chilean, and European). The volume contributors investigate a variety of genres, ranging from written to spoken to multimodal, and discuss issues, central to the field of genre studies: genre conceptualization in different traditions, its theoretical underpinnings, the goals of genre research, and pedagogical implications of genre studies. This collection is addressed to researchers, teachers, and students of genre who wish to familiarize themselves with current international developments in genre studies.

knowledge through both academic and workplace experiences. These examples

The extension involves a two-dimensional view on genres which allows us to account for the fact that digital genres not only act as text but also as medium. Genre theoretical concepts such as 'communicative purpose', 'moves', and 'rhetorical structure' are being adapted to accommodate the multi-modal, non-linear characteristics of web texts.

point to the challenges that such genres pose due to their legal origin and
complex text production and text reception processes. Taking its point of
departure in one of the most recent mandatory genres within an EU medicinal

study of 15 EU-approved, Danish EPAR summaries, testing whether the respondents
believe the EPAR summaries live up to their declared purpose.
The article concludes that the majority of the respondents do not think the
EPAR summary fulfills its communicative purposes of providing information
about The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use’s review

different from prescriptive models of abstracts, but that they have also recently undergone a further
change. Up until 1996, in contrast to the traditionally viewed structure of abstracts (Introduction-
Methods-Results-Conclusion/Discussion (IMRC/D)), the short texts in Nature vary considerably
in structure with only 18% of those studied having the basic IMRC/D format and the Results being
the only obligatory move. This manipulation of structure, accompanied by the predominant use of
the Present and Present Perfect active, the use of modifiers, the apparent removal of hedging to
strengthen claims all contribute to make these texts eye-catching, to advertise a paper’s contribution.
With the introduction of the e-version of the journal in 1997, further changes occurred. Many promotional
elements have been retained, and though the texts have become much more standardized in
their structure, the Methods have been completely removed and the Results incorporated into the
Conclusion which becomes the only obligatory move. This change in structure, combined with the
inclusion of a greater amount of commentary, greater inclusion of information concerning the
study’s effect of the field as a whole, and the inclusion of explicit definitions, shows an evident concern
for the ‘‘general reader’’ and indicates a kind of ‘‘democratization’’ of the scientific community.
Technological advancements in the field of science appear to have also contributed to these modifications
coming about.

It argues for the centrality of the macro-linguistic textual notion of hybrid genres to the understanding of the socio-cultural makeup of speaker-audience relations and dynamics. The adequateness and uniqueness of the Lebanese, and by extension, the Middle-Eastern context are more clearly evident in the overwhelming dominance of dogmatic discourses which, I argue, both trigger and aid the perpetual construction and reconstruction of ideologically susceptible audiences. Elements of these discourses such as religious, political, military and even literary blend in a unique way in public, normally political, speeches to produce a type of hybrid genre which helps construct constantly shifting audience roles with varying effective power. A pragmatic-stylistic analysis of the discourse of conflict, I propose, can help provide a starting point for understanding the complexity of the rhetorical situation in the region especially in the context of continuously rising extremism.10agenre10ahybrid genre10aideology10apragmatics10arhetoric10astylistics1 aBadran, Dany uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/hybrid-genres-and-cognitive-positioning-audiences-political-discourse-hizbollah00663nam a2200217 4500008004100000245005200041210005100093260002300144653001100167653002500178653001200203653001300215653002600228653001100254653003800265653001400303653000900317653001400326100002300340856008200363 2005 eng d00aInternet Society: The Internet in Everyday Life0 aInternet Society The Internet in Everyday Life aLondonbSagec200510aagency10aaudience ethnography10aBakhtin10aFeenberg10alittle behavior genre10aSchutz10asocial construction of technology10ause genre10auser10aVolosinov1 aBakardjieva, Maria uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/internet-society-internet-everyday-life00467nas a2200157 4500008004100000245003300041210002900074260004800103300001300151653001300164653001000177100001700187700001900204700002200223856006400245 1986 eng d00aThe Problem of Speech Genres0 aProblem of Speech Genres aAustin, TXbUniversity of Texas Pressc1986 a60–10210adialogue10agenre1 aBakhtin, M M1 aEmerson, Caryl1 aHolquist, Michael uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/problem-speech-genres00515nas a2200181 4500008004100000245002700041210002700068260004800095300001400143653001600157653001000173653001800183653001300201100001700214700002200231700002200253856005800275 1981 eng d00aDiscourse in the Novel0 aDiscourse in the Novel aAustin, TXbUniversity of Texas Pressc1981 a259–42210acentripetal10agenre10aheteroglossia10aideology1 aBakhtin, M M1 aHolquist, Michael1 aHolquist, Michael uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/discourse-novel00398nas a2200109 4500008004100000245007200041210006900113300001000182490000700192100002100199856006800220 2012 eng d00aAssessing Scholarly Multimedia: A Rhetorical Genre Studies Approach0 aAssessing Scholarly Multimedia A Rhetorical Genre Studies Approa a61-770 v211 aBall, Cheryl, E. uhttp://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10572252.2012.62639000437nas a2200109 4500008004100000245007200041210006900113300001000182490000700192100002100199856010700220 2012 eng d00aAssessing Scholarly Multimedia: A Rhetorical Genre Studies Approach0 aAssessing Scholarly Multimedia A Rhetorical Genre Studies Approa a61-770 v211 aBall, Cheryl, E. uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/assessing-scholarly-multimedia-rhetorical-genre-studies-approach00394nam a2200109 4500008004100000245005300041210005300094260001800147100001600165700001500181856008800196 2002 eng d00aApproaches to teaching English Renaissance drama0 aApproaches to teaching English Renaissance drama aNew YorkbMLA1 aBamford, K.1 aLeggat, A. uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/approaches-teaching-english-renaissance-drama00690nas a2200229 4500008004100000020001800041245005100059210004900110260003800159653002400197653001100221653001000232653001600242653000800258653001000266653001700276653001100293653001000304100003400314700002500348856008700373 1999 eng d a0-582-31985-400aWriting Business: Genres, Media and Discourses0 aWriting Business Genres Media and Discourses aHarlow, UKbPearson/Longmanc199910adiccourse community10ae-mail10aemail10aengineering10afax10agenre10aintertextual10aletter10asales1 aBargiela-Chiappini, Francesca1 aNickerson, Catherine uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/writing-business-genres-media-and-discourses00533nas a2200109 4500008004100000245014100041210006900182300001100251490000700262100001800269856013600287 2004 eng d00aDiscourse Methods and Critical Practice in Professional Communication: The Front-Stage and Back-Stage Discourse of Prognosis in Medicine0 aDiscourse Methods and Critical Practice in Professional Communic a67-1110 v181 aBarton, Ellen uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/discourse-methods-and-critical-practice-professional-communication-front-stage-and-back-stage01723nas a2200121 4500008004100000245008400041210006900125300001200194490000700206520125800213100002501471856010501496 2011 eng d00aThe Author-Function, The Genre Function, and The Rhetoric of Scholarly Webtexts0 aAuthorFunction The Genre Function and The Rhetoric of Scholarly a145-1590 v283 a

In this article, I compare Michel Foucault's (1994) author-function and Anis Bawarshi's (2000) genre function as explanations for the use, categorization, and value of scholarly webtexts. I focus much of my analysis on Anne Frances Wysocki's (2002) “A Bookling Monument” because it is explicitly designed to destabilize our reading practices. I also situate Wysocki's webtext along a spectrum with Charles Lowe's (2004) “Copyright, Access, and Digital Texts” and Collin Gifford Brooke's (2002) “Perspective: Notes Toward the Remediation of Style.” In using the author-function and the genre function as lenses on these pieces, I aim to articulate multiple possible modes of being for scholarly webtexts and their users. In the process, I illustrate the ways these concepts speak to the status and social function of authorial ownership and originality; multimodal complexity; and formal reflexivity. Ultimately, I argue that bringing traditional concepts like authorship and genre to bear on scholarly webtexts not only reveals the values of the Computers and Writing community but also presents a unique opportunity to continue testing the uses and limits of our rhetorical theories.

Generic knowledge plays an important role in the packing and unpacking of texts used in a
wide-ranging institutionalized socio-rhetorical context. If, on the one hand, it imposes constraints on an
uninitiated genre writer to conform to the conventions and rhetorical expectations of the relevant
professional community, on the other hand, it allows an experienced and established writer of the genre
to exploit conventions to create new forms to suit specific contexts. Unfortunately, however, this privilege
to exploit generic conventions to create new forms becomes available only to those few who enjoy a certain
degree of visibility in the relevant professional community; for a wide majority of others, it is more of a
matter of apprenticeship in accommodating the expectations of disciplinary cultures. This paper reviews
current research to investigate the way the power and the politics of genre is often exploited by the so-called
established membership of disciplinary communities to keep outsiders at a safe distance.

In this paper, I report the effects of explicitly teaching five technical genres to English first-language students enrolled in a multi-major technical writing course. Previous experimental research has demonstrated the efficacy of explicitly teaching academic writing to English first-language adults, but no comparable study on technical writing exists. I used a mixed-method approach to examine these effects, including a control-group quasi-experimental design and a qualitative analysis to more fully describe the 534 texts produced by 316 student writers. Results indicated the genre participants constructed texts demonstrating a significantly greater awareness to audience, purpose, structure, design, style, and editing than participants taught through more traditional approaches. Within the technical genres, participants demonstrated greater awareness to audience, purpose, and editing in the job materials text type than with correspondence or procedures text types.

"Media critics remain captivated by the modernist myth of the new: they assume that digital technologies such as the World Wide Web, virtual reality, and computer graphics must divorce themselves from earlier media for a new set of aesthetic and cultural principles. In this richly illustrated study, Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin offer a theory of mediation for our digital age that challenges this assumption. They argue that new visual media achieve their cultural significance precisely by paying homage to, rivaling, and refashioning such earlier media as perspective painting, photography, film, and television. They call this process of refashioning "remediation," and they note that earlier media have also refashioned one another: photography remediated painting, film remediated stage production and photography, and television remediated film, vaudeville, and radio."

An accessible introduction to the study of popular music, this book takes a schematic approach to a range of popular music genres, and examines them in terms of their antecedents, histories, visual aesthetics, and sociopolitical contexts. Within this interdisciplinary and genre-based focus, readers will gain insights into the relationships between popular music, cultural history, economics, politics, iconography, production techniques, technology, marketing, and musical structure.

We examine the rhetorical activity employed within software development communities in code texts. For technical communicators, the rhetoricity of code is crucial for the development of more effective code and documentation. When we understand that code is a collection of rhetorical decisions about how to engage those machinic processes, we can better attend to the significance and nuance of those decisions and their impact on potential user activities.

This paper reports a corpus investigation of the Methods sections of research-reporting articles in academic journals. In published pedagogic materials, Swales and Feak [Swales, J. M., & Feak, C. (1994). Academic writing for graduate students. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press; Swales, J. M., & Feak, C. (2000). English in today's research world. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press.], while not offering a generic structure, discuss the tendencies for Methods sections reporting research in the social sciences to be slow (or extended), and those in the physical sciences, such as medicine and engineering, to be fast (or compressed) â€“ the metaphors of speed or density relating to the degree of elaboration employed in describing and justifying the research design and process. The aim of this study is to examine the differences between fast and slow tendencies in Methods sections in terms of their internal, cognitive discourse organization. Two small corpora, each consisting of thirty Methods sections (one for each of the two groups of subjects), are analyzed in two ways. First the corpora are rater-analyzed for their use of the organizational features of a cognitive genre model for textual structures (see Bruce, I. J. (2005). Syllabus design for general EAP courses: a cognitive approach. Journal of English for Academic Purposes, 4(3), 239â€“256.) and secondly by the use of corpus software for linguistic features that characterize the model. The findings of the study suggest that â€˜fastâ€™ Methods sections that report research in the physical sciences generally employ a means-focused discourse structure, and â€˜slowâ€™ Methods sections in social science reports tend to employ a combination of chronological and non-sequential descriptive structures. The study concludes that learner writers may benefit from access to the types of general, procedural knowledge that these discoursal structures employ.

"Flexible, easy to use, just enough detail—and now the number-one best seller.

With just enough detail — and color-coded links that send students to more detail if they need it — this is the rhetoric that tells students what they need to know and resists the temptation to tell them everything there is to know. Designed for easy reference — with menus, directories, and a combined glossary/index. The Third Edition has new chapters on academic writing, choosing genres, writing online, and choosing media, as well as new attention to multimodal writing.

The Norton Field Guide to Writing is available with a handbook, an anthology, or both — and all versions are now available as low-cost ebooks and in mobile-compatible formats for iPhones, Droids, and iPads."

One way of helping faculty understand the integral role of writing in their various disciplines
is to present disciplines as ways of doing, which links ways of knowing and
writing in the disciplines. Ways of doing identified by faculty are used to describe broader
generic and disciplinary structures, metagenres, and metadisciplines.

Following from the work of Thomas Leitch (2008) and Christine Geraghty (2009),
adaptations that position themselves as adaptations are considered in relation to
an evolving definition of an adaptation genre. In particular, Pride and Prejudice
is regarded as a template for such a genre, a genre signified by a period setting;
period music; a focus on intertitles, words, books and authors; the foregrounding of
‘new’ media; the inclusion of artwork in the sets or in the mise-en-scène; implicit or
explicit tributes to the author; and an appeal to a female audience through the insertion
of female-friendly episodes. The films Pride and Prejudice (1940), Pride and
Prejudice (2005) and Becoming Jane (2007) are examined in relation to this concept

significant differences from Fahnestock’s analysis of the genre shift from
forensic research reports to epideictic articles in the popular press, especially
a move toward greater candidness about the research process. Epideictic scientific rhetoric, therefore, can be said to celebrate the scientific method in general as much as it does the particular line of research at hand.

While ostensibly informative, press releases also carry an implicitly self-promotional purpose, in so far as the information they contain comes from a source internal to the organization which is the object of the release itself.This paper explores the generic features of press releases and investigates the way in which they codify the different communicative purposes and multiple receiver roles which distinguish the genre. Drawing on Bhatia’s work on genre (Bhatia 1993, 2004), and building on Jacobs’s preformulating features (Jacobs 1999a), which can be seen as linguistic strategies aimed at achieving the primary and most ostensible purpose of the press release (i.e. getting the story in the news with as little manipulation as possible on the part of journalists), the paper identifies a set of moves and strategies common to the genre, and links them to communicative purposes on the one hand, and to envisioned audiences on the other. It is argued that the press release occupies a hybrid position along the informative-promotional continuum, and that identification of its communicative purpose relies as much on core as on peripheral textual features.

In today’s educational climate, it is more important than ever that we prepare our students to be effective and competent writers who can write for a variety of purposes. How can we teach our students the skills they need to be successful while also fostering an appreciation for the process, craft, and art of writing?

Drawing from sound theory and research as well as on many years of experience in the English classroom, Fran Claggett and colleagues Joan Brown, Nancy Patterson, and Louann Reid have created a writing teacher’s resource to help both new and experienced teachers sort through the often complex issues in the teaching of writing. With innovative, teacher-tested strategies for creating a classroom in which students thrive as writers, Teaching Writing: Craft, Art, Genre is a must-have addition to every writing teacher’s library.
In this volume, you’ll discover:

Research-based discussions on key issues

Classroom-ready lessons for teaching genre

Methods for incorporating poetry into the writing program

Rationale and lessons for using modeling to teach writing

Ideas for integrating technology in the English classroom

Strategies for teaching grammar in contexts for writing

Examples of student work that illustrate teaching concepts

Sample rubrics for assessment and student self-assessment

This paper reports on our task-based observational, logged, questionnaire study and analysis of ocular behavior pertaining to the interaction of structural features of text in Wikipedia using eye tracking. We set natural and realistic tasks searching Wikipedia online focusing on examining which features and strategies (skimming or scanning) were the most important for the participants to complete their tasks. Our research, carried out on a group of 30 participants, highlighted their interactions with the structural areas within Wikipedia articles, the visual cues and features perceived during the searching of the Wiki text. We collected questionnaire and ocular behavior (fixation metrics) data to highlight the ways in which people view the features in the articles. We found that our participants' extensively interacted with layout features, such as tables, titles, bullet lists, contents lists, information boxes, and references. The eye tracking results showed that participants used the format and layout features and they also highlighted them as important. They were able to navigate to useful information consistently, and they were an effective means of locating relevant information for the completion of their tasks with some success. This work presents results which contribute to the long-term goals of studying the features for genre and theoretical perception research.

The categorization of documents is traditionally
topic-based. This paper presents a complementary
analysis of research and experiments on genre to show
that encouraging results can be obtained by using
genre structure (form) features. We conducted an
experiment to assess the effectiveness of using
extensible mark-up language (XML) tag information,
and part-of-speech (P-O-S) features, for the
classification of genres, testing the hypothesis that if a
focus on genre can lead to high precision on normal
textual documents, then good results can be achieved
using XML tag information in addition to P-O-S
information. An experiment was carried out on a
subsection of the initiative for the evaluation of XML
(INEX) 1.4 collection. The features were extracted and
documents were classified using machine learning
algorithms, which yielded encouraging results for
logistic regression and neural networks. We propose
that utilizing these features and training a classifier
may benefit retrieval for most world wide web (WWW)
technologies such as XML and extensible hypertext
markup language) XHTML.

This paper offers a proposal for some preliminary research on the retrieval of structured text, such as extensible mark-up language (XML). We believe that capturing the way in which a reader perceives the meaning of documents, especially genres of text, may have implications for information retrieval (IR) and in particular, for cognitive IR and relevance. Previous research on 'shallow' features of structured text has shown that categorization by form is possible. Gibson's theory of 'affordances' and genre offer the reader the meaning and purpose - through structure - of a text, before the reader has even begun to read it, and should therefore provide a good basis for the 'deep' skimming and categorization of texts. We believe that Gibson's 'affordances' will aid the user to locate, examine and utilize shallow or deep features of genres and retrieve relevant output. Our proposal puts forward two hypotheses, with a list of research questions to test them, and culminates in experiments involving the studies of human categorization behaviour when viewing the structures of emails and web documents. Finally, we will examine the effectiveness of adding structural layout cues to a Yahoo discussion forum (currently only a bag-of-words), which is rich in structure, but only searchable through a Boolean search engine.

This paper reports on our approach to the analysis of genre recognition using eyetracking. We focused on a collection of different types of email which could represent different datasets, such as, mailing lists for calls for papers, newsletters, etc. We found that genre analysis based on purpose, form and layout features is potentially effective for identifying the characteristics of these datasets and we have highlighted some of the new important features of genres. The results from a pilot study showed a clear effect, with an interaction between the email texts and the visual cues or features perceived and also the strategies employed for the processing of the texts. We found, in our small sample, that readers can determine the purpose and form of genres and that during this process some readers do skim the shape of the e-mails (form).

This paper presents an overview of the ways in which genres, or structuralforms, develop in a community of practice, in this case, Wikipedia. Firstly, we collected data by performing a small search task in the Wikipedia search engine (powered by Lucene) to locate articles related to global car manufacturers, for example, British Leyland, Ferrari and General Motors. We also searched for typical biographical articles about notable people, such as Spike Milligan, Alex Ferguson, Nelson Mandela and Karl Marx. An examination of the data thus obtained revealed that these articles have particular forms and that some genres connect to each other and evolve, merge and overlap. We then looked at the ways in which the purpose and form of a biographical article have evolved over six years within this community. We concluded the work with a discussion on the usefulness of Wikipedia as a vehicle for such genre investigations. This small analysis has allowed us to start generating a number of detailed research questions as to how forms may act as descriptors of genre and to discuss plans for experimental work aimed at answering these questions.

This paper reports on an approach to the analysis of form (layout and formatting) during genre recognition recorded using eye tracking. The researchers focused on eight different types of e-mail, such as calls for papers, newsletters and spam, which were chosen to represent different genres. The study involved the collection of oculographic behavior data based on the scanpath duration and scanpath length based metric, to highlight the ways in which people view the features of genres. We found that genre analysis based on purpose and form (layout features, etc.) was an effective means of identifying the characteristics of these e-mails. The research, carried out on a group of 24 participants, highlighted their interaction and interpretation of the e-mail texts and the visual cues or features perceived. In addition, the ocular strategies of scanning and skimming, they employed for the processing of the texts by block, genre and representation were evaluated.

We found that genre analysis based on purpose and

research, carried out on a group of 24 participants,
highlighted their interaction with the e-mail texts
and the visual cues or features perceived as well as
the strategies they employed for the processing of the

the purpose and form of genres, that form and content
can occasionally be separable, that some features
cause fixations and that some readers are prompted to respond by using saccadic behaviour (e.g. regressive
saccades) over the shape of the e-mails (form).

This article examines the literacy practices of three school-based student activist groups: a Gay-Straight Alliance, a high school chapter of Amnesty International, and a human rights club unaffiliated with Amnesty. Specifically, this article investigates how members of the different groups advanced their projects by repurposing school genres such as hallway bulletin boards and office memos. By articulating movement messages in school genres, it is argued, activists tightened their schools’ connections to social movements and circulated movement discourses through school space. After findings on each group are presented, the concept “genre as discourse conduit” is induced from the data and is used to reevaluate the nuances and implications of students’ efforts to articulate movement discourses in school genres. Equipped with this new concept, researchers may better analyze activist groups’ efforts to perform movement work in schools.

This article begins with a review of the forms of writing promoted in the Common Core State Standards. Across content areas, Common Core encourages teachers to attune students' writing to rhetorical concerns of audience, purpose, task, and disciplinary thinking. To address these concerns, teachers might take a rhetorical approach to the study of genres. In this view, genres are seen as resources writers use to build and act in particular situations. That is, genres help writers shape their writing to fit particular audiences, purposes, tasks, and forms of disciplinary thought. This article explains the rhetorical approach to genre studies by describing how particular genres (e.g. lab reports) are used by people to negotiate particular situations (e.g. labs in chemistry classes). Examples are offered throughout the article of how genre studies can be carried out in classrooms.

Focusing on matters of power and difference, this article examines rhetorical theories
of genre and James Gee’s theory of Discourse. Although both theories offer productive
ways of understanding literate practice, it is argued, they are limited in crucial respects.
Genre theory offers few ways of understanding how and why some social actors
have an easier time than others in producing generic texts and getting their texts
deemed “legitimate” by recognized authorities. Gee’s theory, meanwhile, does not
explain precisely how and where (i.e., at which conceptual level) communicants
come to match Discourse to situation. This article contends that these limitations
may be surpassed if the two theories are brought together in a particular way. In
this new approach, genres and Discourses are viewed as mutually constitutive forms:
Genres exist within Discourses and Discourses exist within genres. In adopting this
approach, it is argued, researchers may study how particular genres are made to elicit
performances of Discourses connected to particular social groups.

true, the rhetorical unity within a specific genre could also be defined by its chronotope. Central to
this theory will be the idea that the individual ‘moves’ [Swales, J. M. (1981). Aspects of article introduction.

their use of time and space. In this way, the chronotope can be used as a device to analyze specific
genres that are of interest to ESP composition, and can then be used as an instructional tool for
the teaching of these particular genres to students within the ESP community. A corpus of L1 and

chronotopic move markers and chronotopic generic differences. The research summarized will consider
what the pedagogical and semantic implications of these generic differences might be.

autobiographies of two writers who take opposing positions on the same topic. By producing
texts in genres with recognizable social functions, student writers gain agency.

from novice to expert, and explores what the feedback reflects about the social
and educational context of these design studios. Results suggest that the
feedback socialized students into egalitarian relationships and autonomous
decision-making identities that were perhaps more reflective of academic
developmental stages or idealized workplace contexts than of actual professional
settings—therefore potentially complicating the preprofessional goals
of the critique.

‘Public engagement with science’ is an increasingly important but contested practice. In this study of London's Dana Centre I look at dialogue events carried out there as a case study of public engagement, performing a detailed analysis in order to examine their nature and practice. The analysis suggests that event framings (as found in the discourse of events) are multiple, varying from lecture to open debate. Furthermore the genre of events is flexible, with participant involvement organised through the use of genres derived from education, talkshows and news interviewing as well as more traditional genres such as lectures. While it seems there is flexibility in the practice of these informal dialogue events, they are, however, not open to reinvention by all participants equally. The fluidity of practice observed may be due to the newness of these kinds of processes in most people's experiences. We are therefore observing, on the ground, the traces of contrasting discourses of the right relationship between science and society.

Contemporary genre theory is probably not what you learned in college. Its dynamic focus on writing as a social activity in response to a particular situation makes it a powerful tool for teaching practical skills and preparing students to write beyond the classroom.

Although genre is often viewed as simply a method for labeling different types of writing, Deborah Dean argues that exploring genre theory can help teachers energize their classroom practices.

Genre Theory synthesizes theory and research about genres and provides applications that help teachers artfully address the challenges of teaching high school writing.

Knowledge of genre theory helps teachers:

challenge assumptions that good writing is always the same

make important connections between reading and writing

eliminate the writing product/process dichotomy

outline ways to write appropriately for any situation

supply keys to understanding the unique requirements of testing situations

Despite the important role the personal statement plays in the graduate school application processes, little research has been done on its functional features and little instruction has been given about it in academic writing courses. The author conducted a multi-level discourse analysis on a corpus of 30 medical/dental school application letters, using both a hand-tagged move analysis and a computerized analysis of lexical features of texts. Five recurrent moves were identified, namely, explaining the reason to pursue the proposed study, establishing credentials related to the fields of medicine/dentistry, discussing relevant life experience, stating future career goals, and describing personality.

This article presents a critique of the commonplace trope that holds genre to have declined in relevance under modernism. Contrary to the widespread notion that composers’ repudiation of received tradition rendered the very idea of genre categories obsolete, this article argues that such categories have never ceased playing a decisive role in the production, circulation, and reception of post-1945 art music. In interrogating the assumptions that underpin the “decline-of-genre” thesis, this article underlines the utility that renewed attention to genre and its framing effects may have for the analysis of this repertoire. To this end, an alternative to standard theories of genre is advanced, one that draws on actor-network theory to destabilize categories too often conceived as fixed, solid, and binding. This revised theory of genre is applied to Gérard Grisey’s six-part cycle, Les espaces acoustiques (1974–85). Habitually regarded as an exemplar of spectral music, Grisey’s cycle may be understood as participating in a number of additional generic contexts at the same time. Taking such generic overdetermination into account not only sheds light on the range of conflicting interpretations that Les espaces acoustiques affords but also suggests how music analysis might better address the heterogeneous contexts and multiple listener competences that this and other musics engage.

This essay provides an analysis of “Tibaq,” an elegy written in Edward W. Said’s honor by the acclaimed Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. Noting that the poem exhibits aspects of a number of genres and demonstrates Darwish’s generally innovative approach to traditional literary forms, I consider how he has transformed the marthiya, the elegiac genre that has been part of the Arabic literary tradition since the pre-Islamic era. I argue that Darwish used the elegy-writing occasion to comment on Said’s politics and to make respectful use of his critical methods, particularly his interdisciplinary borrowing of counterpoint, a concept typically used in music analysis. By reworking the conventionalmarthiya to represent Said’s life in exile and his diverse body of work and by putting his contrapuntal method into practice in the conversation depicted in the poem, Darwish elegizes a long-lasting friendship and shores up a shared political cause.

This paper presents the results of a genre analysis of two web-based collaborative authoring environments, Wikipedia and Everything2, both of which are intended as repositories of encyclopedic knowledge and are open to contributions from the public. Using corpus linguistic methods and factor analysis of word counts for features of formality and informality, we show that the greater the degree of post-production editorial control afforded by the system, the more formal and standardized the language of the collaboratively-authored documents becomes, analogous to that found in traditional print encyclopedias. Paradoxically, users who faithfully appropriate such systems create homogeneous entries, at odds with the goal of open-access authoring environments to create diverse content. The findings shed light on how users, acting through mechanisms provided by the system, can shape (or not) features of content in particular ways. We conclude by identifying sub-genres of web-based collaborative authoring environments based on their technical affordances.

Like navigating a ship (Hutchins, 1993), conducting monetary policy involves complex processes of distributed cognition. The difference is that, in a governmental financial institution like the Bank of Canada, much of the cognitive work and its distribution are accomplished by means of interweaving webs of genres of discourse. The genres of the Bank enable both the forming and reforming of policy as well as the constant reflexive self-monitoring necessary for maintaining the robustness of the institution and for achieving its goals. The genres operate as sites for the communal construction of and negotiation over knowledge; paradoxically, as institutionalized artifacts, they both channel and codify thinking at the same time that they function as sites for change.

The paradoxical dependence of genre histories on historically accidental acts of naming and on transcendental critical imagination is demonstrated by the Chinese western, a little-understood genre that has become a major part of Chinese-language cinema over the past two decades. After the genre was proposed in 1984 by the Chinese film theorist Zhong Dianfei, as a realist reaction against the ideological excesses of the Cultural Revolution, its ambiguous status as a Hollywood import quickly became a proxy for larger cultural battles over China's place in an American-dominated international cultural system. Moreover, despite assurances by Zhong and other critics that the genre was not susceptible to Hollywood influence, the production history of the genre from the late 1980s to the present demonstrates a pattern of generic influence and eventual fusion that tracks Chinese state-owned studios' evolution from subsidized propaganda organs to participants in a globalized entertainment industry.

in part through, the speaker’s use of a particular code. Code-specific
communicative practices, in turn, simultaneously constitute and partake of
code-specific genres: normative, relatively stable, often metapragmatically
salient types of utterance, or modes of discourse, that conventionally
call for use of a particular code. This article suggests that the notions of code
specificity and code-specific genre can be useful ones for theorizing the relationship
between code and communicative practice in bilingual0multilingual
settings, particularly those in which language shift and other contact-induced
processes of linguistic and cultural change tend to highlight that relationship.
This is demonstrated through an examination of how young children in
St. Lucia are socialized to “curse” and otherwise assert themselves by means

In e-mail, we compose and read texts. On the Web, we read (and often compose) texts. And when we create and refer to the appointments and notes in our personal digital assistants, we use texts. Texts are deeply embedded in cultural, cognitive, and material arrangements that go back thousands of years. Information technologies with texts at their core are, by contrast, a relatively recent development. To participate with other information researchers in shaping the evolution of these ITexts, researchers and scholars must build on a knowledge base and articulate issues, a task undertaken in this article. The authors begin by reviewing the existing foundations for a research program in IText and then scope out issues for research over the next five to seven years. They direct particular attention to the evolving character of ITexts and to their impact on society. By undertaking this research, the authors urge the continuing evolution of technologies of text.10aethos10aworld-wide-web; genre; communication; literacy; systems1 aGeisler, C1 aBazerman, C1 aDoheny-Farina, S1 aGurak, L1 aHaas, C1 aJohnson-Eilola, J1 aKaufer, D S1 aLunsford, A1 aMiller, CR1 aWinsor, D1 aYates, J u://00016958700000200835nas a2200229 4500008004100000245010500041210006900146300001200215490000700227100002000234700002200254700002700276700001700303700002000320700002800340700002200368700002100390700002300411700002000434700001800454856013300472 2001 eng d00aIText: Future Directions for Research on the Relationship between Information Technology and Writing0 aIText Future Directions for Research on the Relationship between a269-3080 v151 aGeisler, Cheryl1 aBazerman, Charles1 aDoheny-Farina, Stephen1 aGurak, Laura1 aHaas, Christina1 aJohnson-Eilola, Johndan1 aKaufer, David, S.1 aLunsford, Andrea1 aMiller, Carolyn, R1 aWinsor, Dorothy1 aYates, JoAnne uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/itext-future-directions-research-relationship-between-information-technology-and-writing-000401nas a2200109 4500008004100000245006100041210006100102300001200163490000700175100001700182856009200199 2011 eng d00aAutobiographical Writing in the Technical Writing Course0 aAutobiographical Writing in the Technical Writing Course a325-3350 v411 aGellis, Mark uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/autobiographical-writing-technical-writing-course00366nam a2200109 4500008004100000245003500041210003000076260005500106653001000161100002000171856006500191 1992 eng d00aThe Architext: An Introduction0 aArchitext An Introduction aBerkeley, CAbUniversity of California Pressc199210agenre1 aGenette, Gerard uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/architext-introduction00424nam a2200097 4500008004100000245006800041210006300109260004500172100002100217856008800238 1984 eng d00aThe Constitution of Society: Outline of the Theory of Structure0 aConstitution of Society Outline of the Theory of Structure aBerkeleybUniversity of California Press1 aGiddens, Anthony uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/constitution-society-outline-theory-structure00496nam a2200097 4500008004100000245009400041210006900135260004900204100002100253856012400274 1979 eng d00aCentral Problems in Social Theory: Action, Structure and Contradiction in Social Analysis0 aCentral Problems in Social Theory Action Structure and Contradic aBerkeley, CAbUniversity of California Press1 aGiddens, Anthony uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/central-problems-social-theory-action-structure-and-contradiction-social-analysis00536nam a2200145 4500008004100000245006200041210006000103260003400163653001400197653001000211100002700221700001800248700002900266856009500295 1992 eng d00aSigns, Genres, and Communities in Technical Communication0 aSigns Genres and Communities in Technical Communication aAmityville, NYbBaywoodc199210acommunity10agenre1 aGilbertson, Michael, K1 aGould, Jay, R1 aKillingsworth, Jimmie, M uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/signs-genres-and-communities-technical-communication00506nas a2200133 4500008004100000245007000041210006700111260003800178300001200216100001500228700001600243700001500259856009800274 2003 eng d00aLegends of the center: System, self, and linguistic consciousness0 aLegends of the center System self and linguistic consciousness aColorado StatebWAC Clearinghouse a363-3921 aGiltrow, J1 aBazerman, C1 aRussell, D uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/legends-center-system-self-and-linguistic-consciousness00371nas a2200145 4500008004100000245001500041210001400056260003300070300001200103100001500115700001100130700001500141700001600156856005300172 2002 eng d00aMeta-genre0 aMetagenre aCresskill, NJbHampton Press a187-2051 aGiltrow, J1 aCoe, R1 aLingard, L1 aTeslenko, T uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/meta-genre00549nas a2200169 4500008004100000020002200041245005800063210005700121260003600178653000900214653001000223653001300233100001900246700001800265700001800283856007800301 2009 eng d a978-90-272-5433-700aGenres in the Internet: Issues in the Theory of Genre0 aGenres in the Internet Issues in the Theory of Genre aAmsterdambJohn Benjaminsc200910ablog10agenre10ainternet1 aGiltrow, Janet1 aStein, Dieter1 aFetzer, Anita uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/genres-internet-issues-theory-genre01176nas a2200169 4500008004100000245004700041210004300088260000900131300001400140490000800154520070900162653001400871653001000885653001300895100002300908856007500931 1995 eng d00aThe Wider Circle of Friends in Adolescence0 aWider Circle of Friends in Adolescence c1995 a661–6970 v1013 aAdolescents interact with a variety of peers, in addition to the closefriends generally emphasized in the literature. In this article I contrast
the style and content of the communications directed to close
friends and other youths characterized by varying degrees of "nearness
and remoteness." The handwritten messages found in high
school yearbooks are analyzed and used to illustrate some of the
distinct features of each type of discourse. This analysis suggests
that while intimate relations undoubtedly playa key role in development,
adolescents also learn a great deal about themselves and
the social world they must navigate through their interactions with
the wider circle of friends.

blogs’. Taking up Miller and Shepherd’s proposal (2004) that the exigence of the blog
is self cultivation and validation, we examine how such an exigence may be met, not
through entering and building community, but engaging with and arranging for recognition
in what Michael Warner calls ‘discursive publics’ (2002:121). By focusing on
uptake (Freadman 2002) as a public dynamic, we suggest how features of the blog such
as blog posts and ‘meta-generic’ commentary (Giltrow 2002:192) about antecedent
genres may enable a blogger to legitimate the self as an integral part and perpetuator
of publics: a blogger’s uptake both actualizes a public (declaring membership), and
imagines it anew (envisioning subsequent uptakes).

While these scholars have provided
a great deal of insight into the nature of e-genres and how they function in
professional contexts, few address the relationship between genre and newmedia
theories from a designer’s perspective. This article presents the results
of an ethnographic-style case study exploring the practice of a professional
new-media designer. These results (a) confirm the role of dynamic rhetorical
situations and hybridity during the new-media design process; (b) suggest
that current genre and new-media theories underestimate the complexity of
the relationships between mode, medium, genre, and rhetorical exigencies;
and (c) indicate that a previously unrecognized form of hybridity exists in
contemporary e-genres.

The invitation poem, in which the beloved is urged to come away to an idealized place, is among the most enduring genres of European love poetry. The tradition begins with the biblical Song of Songs, which sets several important precedents: a dialogic framework, a close association of lover and landscape, and a sense of love as exile. Medieval and Renaissance invitation poems follow the Song of Songs but shift its emphases toward monologue, materialism, and importunity. Milton thus inherits a dual tradition of invitational poetry, both aspects of which figure prominently in Paradise Lost. Recognizing the traditional features of the genre therefore illuminates significant moments in the epic, including, notably, Eve’s final speech. The invitational tropes in this passage reveal how Eve reconceives of exile as homecoming and how she reestablishes a sense of radical mutuality with Adam by completing a dialogue that began before the Fall.

This paper examines Johann Ulrich Bilguer’s 1761 dissertation on the inutility ofamputation practices, examining reasons for its influence despite its nonconformance to genreexpectations. I argue that Bilguer’s narratives of patient suffering, his rhetorical likening ofsurgeons to soldiers, and his attention to the horrific experiences of war surgeons all contributeto the dissertation’s wide impact. Ultimately, the dissertation offers an example of affectiverhetorics employed during the Enlightenment, demonstrating how bodies and environments—those Bambient rhetorics^ made visible in a text—can contribute to an analysis of genredeviations and widen the scope of genre studies.

Genre0 aSketches of Theories of Genre c1987 a397–4300 v163 aThis paper deals with conceptions of genre in literary studies by critically discussing their implications from the viewpoint of an empirical science of literature that has turned its attention to TV phenomena. The basic question addresses the necessity of genre conceptions within the empirical theory of literature. It is argued that there is no need for conceptualizing ‘genre’ within that theory because the underlying philosophy of generic thinking implies an incommensurable metaphysics. On the other hand, it is shown that issues of modern (functionalist sociological) theories of genre can largely be reconstructed as starting points for an empirical theory of ‘genres’ if their core assumptions are grounded on the level of cognition. Types of genre theories considered here are the classificationist, the form-content descriptivist, the typological universalist, and the functionalist sociological approach. The paper concludes with an attitude against genre as a scientific object domain of its own and suggests that ‘generic’ phenomena should be treated as problems of the aggregation of knowledge for consensual interaction in media systems.10aBakhtin10agenre10aliterature10atheory1 aHauptmeier, Halmut uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/sketches-theories-genre00333nas a2200121 4500008004100000020001500041245002600056210002200082260002000104300001100124100001900135856005700154 2004 eng d a185984458800aThe Politics of Genre0 aPolitics of Genre aNew YorkbVerso a163-741 aHeath, Stephen uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/politics-genre00511nas a2200145 4500008004100000245008200041210006900123260000900192300001300201490000600214653001000220653001100230100001700241856010700258 1983 eng d00aDefining the Genre of the Letter: Juan Luis Vives' De conscribendis epistolis0 aDefining the Genre of the Letter Juan Luis Vives De conscribendi c1983 a89–1050 v710agenre10aletter1 aHenderson, J uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/defining-genre-letter-juan-luis-vives-de-conscribendis-epistolis00428nam a2200121 4500008004100000020001500041245005400056210005200110260002500162300000800187100002300195856008800218 2011 eng d a140942086800aGrief and Genre in American Literature, 1790-18700 aGrief and Genre in American Literature 17901870 aBurlington bAshgate a2001 aHenderson, Desiree uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/grief-and-genre-american-literature-1790-187000646nas a2200157 4500008004100000245019700041210006900238300001200307490000700319100001700326700001800343700001800361700001600379700002200395856007100417 2012 eng d00aStyle Congruency and Persuasion: A Cross-cultural Study Into the Influence of Differences in Style Dimensions on the Persuasiveness of Business Newsletters in Great Britain and the Netherlands0 aStyle Congruency and Persuasion A Crosscultural Study Into the I a122-1410 v551 aHendriks, B.1 avan Meurs, F.1 aKorzilius, H.1 ale Pair, R.1 ale Blanc-Damen, S uhttp://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=620364700467nas a2200109 4500008004100000245009400041210006900135300001500204490000700219100001500226856011600241 2009 eng d00a(Re)Appraising the Performance of Technical Communicators From a Posthumanist Perspective0 aReAppraising the Performance of Technical Communicators From a P a11/30/20150 v191 aHenry, Jim uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/reappraising-performance-technical-communicators-posthumanist-perspective00400nas a2200109 4500008004100000245007500041210006900116300001200185490000700197100002000204856006600224 2004 eng d00aEmergent Genres in Young Disciplines: The Case of Ethnological Science0 aEmergent Genres in Young Disciplines The Case of Ethnological Sc a393-4210 v131 aHenze, Brent, R uhttp://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/s15427625tcq1304_300455nas a2200109 4500008004000000245006300040210006300103260004200166100001700208700002200225856009800247 0 engd00aTeaching Genre in Professional and Technical Communication0 aTeaching Genre in Professional and Technical Communication aLogan, UTbUtah State University Pres1 aHenze, Brent1 aBridgeford, Tracy uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/teaching-genre-professional-and-technical-communication00575nas a2200169 4500008004100000245007500041210006900116260000900185300001400194490000700208653001900215653001500234653002400249653001000273100002000283856010200303 2004 eng d00aEmergent Genres in Young Disciplines: The Case of Ethnological Science0 aEmergent Genres in Young Disciplines The Case of Ethnological Sc c2004 a393–4210 v1310adisciplinarity10adiscipline10adiscourse formation10agenre1 aHenze, Brent, R uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/emergent-genres-young-disciplines-case-ethnological-science00488nas a2200133 4500008004100000020001900041245006200060210006100122260002900183300001200212653001400224100002000238856009600258 2012 eng d a978-022692407600aWhat Do Technical Communicators Need to Know about Genre?0 aWhat Do Technical Communicators Need to Know about Genre aChicagobU Chicago Press a337-36110atechnical1 aHenze, Brent, R uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/what-do-technical-communicators-need-know-about-genre01597nas a2200229 4500008004100000245008200041210006900123260000900192300001400201490000700215520088100222653001401103653002601117653001301143653001501156653001401171653002101185653001201206653002201218100002001240856010701260 1979 eng d00aRenaissance Poverty and Lazarillo's Family: The Birth of the Picaresque Genre0 aRenaissance Poverty and Lazarillos Family The Birth of the Picar c1979 a876–8860 v943 aIn the history of literature the change from the idealized worlds of the shepherd and the knight to the world of the picaro; from arcadia and chivalry to the desolate urban landscape of misery and hunger; from romance to irony-in fact, the Copernican revolution that produced a new genre-could only have been born of an upheaval that affected men's lives and forced educated writers to see conditions they had so far ignored. This change stemmed from an increased awareness of human misery, which the urban growth of the Renaissance had made highly visible. The genius of the Spanish author of the Lazarillo consists in his having found the literary voice for such a profound transformation of European society. The Lazarillo, of course, did not annihilate the past, but it gave artistic form to the all-pervading crisis that was destroying the basis of the traditional order.10aCervantes10acopernican revolution10aliterary10aliterature10anew genre10apicaresque genre10apoverty10asocial conditions1 aHerrero, Javier uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/renaissance-poverty-and-lazarillos-family-birth-picaresque-genre00724nas a2200289 4500008004100000245003200041210003200073260000900105300001400114490000700128653001600135653000900151653002100160653001100181653001000192653001800202653001100220653001100231653001600242653001400258653001500272100002200287700002200309700001900331700001900350856006500369 2005 eng d00aWeblogs as a Bridging Genre0 aWeblogs as a Bridging Genre c2005 a142–1710 v1810aantecedents10ablog10acontent analysis10acorpus10agenre10agenre ecology10ahybrid10aimpact10alinguistics10anew genre10atechnology1 aHerring, Susan, C1 aScheidt, Lois Ann1 aBonus, Sabrina1 aWright, Elijah uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/weblogs-bridging-genre00674nas a2200241 4500008004100000245005000041210004900091260005600140300001400196653001600210653000900226653002100235653001100256653001000267653001100277653001600288100002200304700002200326700001900348700001900367700001700386856002900403 2004 eng d00aBridging the Gap: A Genre Analysis of Weblogs0 aBridging the Gap A Genre Analysis of Weblogs aLos Alamitos, CAbIEEE Computer Society Pressc2004 a101–11110aantecedents10ablog10acontent analysis10acorpus10agenre10aimpact10alinguistics1 aHerring, Susan, C1 aScheidt, Lois Ann1 aBonus, Sabrina1 aWright, Elijah1 aSprague, Jr. uhttp://www.blogninja.com00479nas a2200169 4500008004100000245004200041210004200083260000900125300001400134490000700148653001100155653001000166653001200176100002200188700002200210856007700232 2006 eng d00aGender and Genre Variation in Weblogs0 aGender and Genre Variation in Weblogs c2006 a439–4590 v1010agender10agenre10apronoun1 aHerring, Susan, C1 aPaolillo, John, C uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/gender-and-genre-variation-weblogs00611nas a2200229 4500008004100000020001800041245003200059210003200091260004900123653001000172653001600182653001200198653001000210653001400220653001300234653000800247653000800255653001200263100002100275700001900296856006600315 2005 eng d a0-87421-600-100aGenre Across the Curriculum0 aGenre Across the Curriculum aLogan, UTbUtah State University Pressc200510aAnson10acomposition10aDannels10agenre10aPalmquist10apedagogy10aWAC10aweb10awriting1 aHerrington, Anne1 aMoran, Charles uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/genre-across-curriculum00795nas a2200205 4500008004100000245014300041210006900184260004900253300001100302653001400313653001000327653001800337653001300355653000800368100002100376700001900397700002100416700001900437856013300456 2005 eng d00aThe Idea of Genre in Theory and Practice: An Overview of the Work in Genre in the Fields of Composition and Rhetoric and New Genre Studies0 aIdea of Genre in Theory and Practice An Overview of the Work in aLogan, UTbUtah State University Pressc2005 a1–1810aclassroom10agenre10aSydney school10ateaching10aWAC1 aHerrington, Anne1 aMoran, Charles1 aHerrington, Anne1 aMoran, Charles uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/idea-genre-theory-and-practice-overview-work-genre-fields-composition-and-rhetoric-and-new02160nas a2200181 4500008004100000022001400041245007800055210006900133300001000202490000700212520154500219653001501764653003301779653001701812653001901829100002401848856010601872 1999 eng d a0950-238600aIndie: The institutional politics and aesthetics of a popular music genre0 aIndie The institutional politics and aesthetics of a popular mus a34-610 v133 a

This article is concerned with the complex relations between institutional politics and aesthetics in oppositional forms of popular culture. Indie is a contemporary genre which has its roots in punk's institutional and aesthetic challenge to the popular music industry but which, in the 1990s, has become part of the ‘mainstream’ of British pop. Case studies of two important ‘independents’, Creation and One Little Indian, are presented, and the aesthetic and institutional politics of these record companies are analysed in order to explore two related questions. First, what forces lead ‘alternative’ independent record companies towards practices of professionalization and of partnership/collaboration with major corporations? Second, what are the institutional and political-aesthetic consequences of such professionalization and partnership? In response to the first question, the article argues that pressures towards professionalization and partnership should be understood not only as an abandonment of previously held idealistic positions (a ‘sell-out’) and that deals with major record companies are not necessarily, in themselves, a source of aesthetic compromise. On the second question, it argues that collaboration with major record companies entails a relinquishing of autonomy for alternative independent record companies; but perspectives which ascribe negative aesthetic consequences directly to such problematic institutional arrangements may well be flawed.

This paper explores the non-adoption of an innovation via the concept of hybrid genres, that is digitalgenres that emerge from a non-digital material precedent. As instances of innovation these are often resisted because they disturb the order of activity and balance of power relations in a given situation, or require users to make conceptual and physical adaptation efforts that they consider too costly. The authors investigate such issues with a case study of the introduction of a hybrid digital genre, ODR or online dispute resolution, in legal practice.

Within the last two decades, a number of researchers have beeninterested in genre as a tool for developing Ll and L2 instruction. Both genre and genre-based pedagogy, however, have been conceived of in distinct ways by researchers in different scholarly traditions and in different parts of the world, making the genre literature a complicated body of scholarship to understand. The purpose of this article is to provide a map of current genre theories and teaching applications in three research areas where genre scholarship has taken significantly different paths: (a) English for specific purposes (ESP), (b) North American New Rhetoric studies, and (c) Australian systemic functional linguistics. The article compares definitions and analyses of genres within these three traditions and examines their contexts, goals, and instructional frameworks for genre-based pedagogy. The investigation reveals that ESP and Australian genre research provides ESL instructors with insights into the linguistic features of written texts as well as useful guidelines for presenting these features in classrooms. New Rhetoric scholarship, on the other hand, offers language teachers fuller perspectives on the institutional contexts around academic and professional genres and the functions genres serve within these settings.

This article explores the intersection of Rhetorical Genre Studies (RGS) and Actor-Network Theory (ANT). These two traditions are particularly important in the Canadian research context. We examine genre and ANT to uncover what we believe is a complementary relationship that promises much to the study of science, especially in the age of the internet. Specifically, we see RGS as a way to account for how objects come to “be” as complex wholes and so act across/among levels of network configurations. Moreover, the nature of these objects’ (instruments’) action is such that we may attribute them to a kind of rhetorical agency. We look to the InFORM Network’s grassroots, citizen science-oriented response to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster as a case that exemplifies how a combined RGS and ANT perspective can articulate the complex wholes of material/rhetorical networks.

The Internet, in Brian Trench’s (2008) words, “is turning science communication
inside-out” and, as a result, the boundaries between internal and external science
communication are “eroding.” Yet these boundaries have long been complicated by
“para-scientific genres” such as trade magazines, as Sarah Kaplan and Joanna Radin
(2011) show, when they detail genres that exist “alongside” mainstream scientific
genres. These genres’ existence is dependent upon their association with established
scientific media and genres, such as the scholarly journal and the scientific research
article. Moreover, these genres reach a wider audience, including policymakers and
others involved in the community, with a mission of influencing the direction of a
discipline or field. Bringing together these ideas, Carolyn R. Miller and I (forthcoming)
extend the notion of parascientific genres to account for emerging genres of science
communication online, suggesting that the rhetorical work parascientific genres do has
been partially moved into more public (or, external) spheres of scientific discourse.
This dissertation focuses on the erosion of boundaries between internal and external
science communication to explore the possibilities for parascientific genres—and looks
specifically to citizen science as a site of inquiry. While some attention has been paid to
citizen science, it is often devoted to scientist-driven cases, where discursive acts are
governed by rhetorics of professionalized science. Participant-driven citizen science
can depart from these conventions, I maintain. And interesting examples of
parascientific genres, or genres that demonstrate characteristics of both internal and
external science communication, are available for examination.

Exploring how political sentiments, popular desires, and social anxieties have been reflected in movies from the Dead End Kids serial to the ghetto action flicks of the 1990s, this book offers the first full-length study of the American film cycle and its relation to film genres and contemporary social issues.

From the publisher's website:
"This second edition of the classic linguistics text provides a basic descriptive terminology for prose style. What is a noun style? A verb style? A hypotactic or a paratactic one? How does the running style differ from the periodic style? What do "high, middle, and low" prose style mean? How might one apply the classical terminology of rhetorical figures to prose analysis? Analyzing Prose supplies detailed, carefully charted answers to these questions in order to teach the student of prose style how and where to begin."

"If economics is about the allocation of resources, then what is the most precious resource in our new information economy? Certainly not information, for we are drowning in it. No, what we are short of is the attention to make sense of that information.

With all the verve and erudition that have established his earlier books as classics, Richard A. Lanham here traces our epochal move from an economy of things and objects to an economy of attention. According to Lanham, the central commodity in our new age of information is not stuff but style, for style is what competes for our attention amidst the din and deluge of new media. In such a world, intellectual property will become more central to the economy than real property, while the arts and letters will grow to be more crucial than engineering, the physical sciences, and indeed economics as conventionally practiced. For Lanham, the arts and letters are the disciplines that study how human attention is allocated and how cultural capital is created and traded. In an economy of attention, style and substance change places. The new attention economy, therefore, will anoint a new set of moguls in the business world—not the CEOs or fund managers of yesteryear, but new masters of attention with a grounding in the humanities and liberal arts.

Lanham’s The Electronic Word was one of the earliest and most influential books on new electronic culture. The Economics of Attention builds on the best insights of that seminal book to map the new frontier that information technologies have created."

In recent decades New Testament scholarship has developed an increasing interest in how the Gospel of John interacts with literary conventions of genre and form in the ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman context. The present volume brings together leading scholars in the field in order to discuss the status quaestionis and to identify new exegetical frontiers. In the Fourth Gospel, genres and forms serve as vehicles of ideological and theological meaning. The contributions to this volume aim at demonstrating how awareness of ancient and modern genre theories and practices advances our understanding of the Fourth Gospel, both in terms of the text as a whole and in terms of the various literary tiles that contribute to the Gospel’s genre mosaic.

Finding ways to build on the language abilities students of diverse cultures bring to school, this book recounts an experiment in helping urban African American high school students to interpret literature by drawing on their own rich oral tradition of "signifying." The book defines signifying as a contest in which the most imaginative user of indirection, irony, and insult wins. The book describes a literature unit taught with inquiry and discussion methods under typical urban conditions in two high schools. The book reports that the academically marginal students posted statistically significant gains in using new awareness of metaphoric language to interpret complex relationships in literature. Chapters of the book are: The Problem; Rationale; Signifying in African American Fiction; Prior Research on Culture and Comprehension; Research Design and Implementation; Measurement Instruments; Observations of the Instructional Process; Results; Talk in the Classroom: The Transformation of Signifying; and Implications and Final Thoughts. Technical notes, reading tests, and tests of social and linguistic knowledge are attached.

Instead of considering film and television adaptations in the context of the source texts they are adapting, this essay proposes another context for their reception and analysis: the genre of adaptation itself. Focusing on the Hollywood traditions of masculine adventure and feminine romance associated respectively with adaptations of Alexandre Dumas père and fils, it identifies four genre markers common to both traditions that make it more likely a given adaptation will be perceived as an adaptation even by an audience that does not know its source, and one anti-marker associated with adaptations in the tradition of the younger Dumas but not the elder. The essay concludes by proposing adaptation as a model for all Hollywood genres.

Why do some music styles gain mass popularity while others thrive in small niches? Banding Together explores this question and reveals the attributes that together explain the growth of twentieth-century American popular music. Drawing on a vast array of examples from sixty musical styles--ranging from rap and bluegrass to death metal and South Texas polka, and including several created outside the United States--Jennifer Lena uncovers the shared grammar that allows us to understand the cultural language and evolution of popular music.

What are the common economic, organizational, ideological, and aesthetic traits among contemporary genres? Do genres follow patterns in their development? Lena discovers four dominant forms--Avant-garde, Scene-based, Industry-based, and Traditionalist--and two dominant trajectories that describe how American pop music genres develop. Outside the United States there exists a fifth form: the Government-purposed genre, which she examines in the music of China, Serbia, Nigeria, and Chile. Offering a rare analysis of how music communities operate, she looks at the shared obstacles and opportunities creative people face and reveals the ways in which people collaborate around ideas, artworks, individuals, and organizations that support their work.

Questions of symbolic classification have been central to sociology since its earliest days, given the relevance of distinctions for both affiliation and conflict. Music and its genres are no exception, organizing people and songs within a system of symbolic classification. Numerous studies chronicle the history of specific genres of music, but none document recurrent processes of development and change across musics. In this article, we analyze 60 musics in the United States, delineating between 12 social, organizational, and symbolic attributes. We find four distinct genre types—Avant-garde, Scene-based, Industry-based, and Traditionalist. We also find that these genre types combine to form three distinct trajectories. Two-thirds originate in an Avant-garde genre, and the rest originate as a scene or, to our surprise, in an Industry-based genre. We conclude by discussing a number of questions raised by our findings, including the implications for understanding symbolic classification in fields other than music.

Although the class in advanced public speaking is a mainstay of communication
instruction, little scholarship has addressed the nature of expertise in public speaking or
the instructional techniques by which it is imparted. The present study conducted
in-depth interviews with 23 active college teachers of advanced public speaking, inquiring
specifically about their goals, curriculum, and classroom activities for the class and
the ways in which these were distinguished from the basic speech class. Qualitative
thematic analysis yielded six distinctive themes: (1) extensive speaking performance and
individualized critique, (2) learning additional genres, (3) learning additional theory,
(4) intensive study of models, (5) extensive self-analysis, and (6) sophisticated processes
for analyzing speaking situations. Two broad pedagogical tensions, both with classical
roots, attend these issues: (1) the tension between teaching theory and facilitating
practice and (2) the tension between teaching forms of speaking and teaching rhetorical
processes.

and make progress in the area of feature extraction, an area that we believe
can benefit all Web page classification, and genre classification in particular.
We first present a framework for the extraction of various Web-specific
feature groups from distinct data models based on a tree of potentials
models and the transformations that create them. Then we introduce the
concept of cost-sensitivity to this tree and provide an algorithm for per
forming wrapper-based feature selection on this tree. Finally, we apply the
cost-sensitive feature selection algorithm on two genre corpora and analyze
the performance of the classification results.

Dr. Levitin identifies six fundamental song functions or types-friendship, joy, comfort, religion, knowledge, and love-then shows how each in its own way has enabled the social bonding necessary for human culture and society to evolve. He shows, in effect, how these "six songs" work in our brains to preserve the emotional history of our lives and species.

Dr. Levitin combines cutting-edge scientific research from his music cognition lab at McGill University and work in an array of related fields; his own sometimes hilarious experiences in the music business; and illuminating interviews with musicians such as Sting and David Byrne, as well as conductors, anthropologists, and evolutionary biologists. The World in Six Songs is, ultimately, a revolution in our understanding of how human nature evolved-right up to the iPod.

Scholars of rhetoric and writing have long recognized the mediated nature of rhetorical action. From Plato’s early indictments of writing as enemy of memoria to Burke’s recognition of instrumental causes to recent analyses of digital mediation (Haas 1996; Spinuzzi 2008; Swarts 2008; Ittersum and Ching 2013), the study of meaning-making refuses one-to-one, transparent theories of communication, instead recognizing that there’s more to rhetorical action than humans. This article follows the trail of Haas, Swarts and others, arguing that analyses of mediation uncover much about human motives, digital communities and rhetorical action. I argue that technologies often function as rhetorical genres, providing what Miller characterizes as “typified rhetorical actions based in recurrent situations” that occur in uniquely digital spaces (159). Working from sites of participatory archival creation and curation[1], I argue that invisible rhetorical genres operating at macroscopic levels of scale are central to shaping individual and communal activity in sites of distributed social production. To support this claim, I investigate two applications – a content management system (CMS) called Gazelle and a bittorrent tracker called Ocelot – to demonstrate how largely invisible server-side software shapes rhetorical action, circumscribes individual agency and cultivates community identity in sites of participatory archival curation. By articulating CMSs and other macroscopic software as rhetorical genres, I hope to extend nascent investigations into the medial capacities of digital tools that shape our collective digital experience.

As a focus of study, ‘social media’ tend to lack definitional clarity and grounding in theories of media and text. This paper establishes and discusses a conceptual framework for defining social media as communicative genres, constituted by the interplay between interactive functionalities configured at the software level and the invocation and appropriation of various software functionalities to achieve specific purposes in and through users’ actual communicative practices. I suggest that social media might be seen as particularly dynamic genres, subject to continuous disruption and uncertainty,owing to their deinstitutionalised and participatory character, and the shifting roles of producers and recipients in the networks and conversations that make up social media content.

In this article we argue that the concept of genre has a valuable function within sociological theory, particularly for understanding emerging communicative practices within social and personal media. Genres span the whole range of recognizable forms of communication, play a crucial role in overcoming contingency and facilitate communication. Their function is to enhance composing and understanding of communication by offering interpretative, recognizable and flexible frames of reference. As such, genres generate a sense of stability in modern complex societies. Genres ought to be seen as an intermediary level between the levels of media and text, however influenced by both. They operate as interaction between two interdependent dimensions, conventions and expectations, both of which are afforded by media and specific texts. In this article these relationships are illustrated through two cases of emerging personal media genres: the online diary and the camphone self-portrait.

Blogs provide an open space for scholars to share information, communicate about their research, and reach a diversified audience. Posts in academic blogs are usually hybrid texts where various genres are connected and recontextualized; yet little research has examined how these genres function together to support scholars’ activity. The purpose of this article is to analyze how the affordances of new media enable the integration of different genres and different languages in research group blogs written by multilingual scholars and to explore how various genres are coordinated in these blogs to accomplish specific tasks. The study reported in this article shows that the functionalities of the digital medium allow research groups to incorporate myriad genres into their genre ecology and interconnect these genres in opportunistic ways to accomplish complex objectives: specifically, to publicize the group’s research and activities, make the work of the group members available to the disciplinary community, strengthen social links within their community and connect with the interested public, and raise social awareness. Findings from this study provide insights into the ways in which scholars write networked, multimedia, multigenre texts to support the group’s social and work activity.

New media are having a significant impact on science communication, both on the way scientists communicate with peers and on the dissemination of science to the lay public. Science blogs, in particular, provide an open space for science communication, where a diverse audience (with different degrees of expertise) may have access to science information intended both for nonspecialist readers and for experts. The purpose of this article is to analyze the strategies used by bloggers to communicate and recontextualize scientific discourse in the realm of science blogs. These strategies involve adjusting information to the readers’ knowledge and information needs, deploying linguistic features typical of personal, informal, and dialogic interaction to create intimacy and proximity, engaging in critical analysis of the recontextualized research and focusing on its relevance, and using explicit and personal expressions of evaluation. The article shows that, given the diverse audience of science posts, bloggers display a blending of discursive practices from different discourses and harness the affordances of new media to achieve their rhetorical purposes.

Abstract: This paper explores how writers of online diaries, or weblogs,
about public affairs negotiate their relationship with the genres and
social position of news journalism. Although often labelled radical
journalists, this paper finds, through interviews with seven webloggers,
that such writers orient themselves in complex ways towards news
journalism, at times drawing upon its modes of knowledge, at times
setting themselves in opposition to it and at times seeking to cross
discursive spaces. The paper concludes that, rather than emerging as a
new public communicative form or genre in relation to journalism, the
distinctiveness of the form is in its generic heterogeneity and ability to
traverse the boundaries of news and other institutional discourses.

This study asks questions about the nature of writing processes in classrooms. As students go from one classroom to another, they are presented with new speech situations, and they must determine what constitutes appropriate ways of speaking and writing in each new territory. How do students, in the course of the semester, figure out what the writing requirements are in that discipline and for that teacher, and how do they go about producing it? In order to answer these questions the researcher followed one college student's writing experiences in one class per semester during his freshman and sophomore years. Follow-up data were collected during his junior year. Four research methods were used: observation, interviews, composing-aloud protocols, and text analysis. Conclusions are drawn from the data about how this student figured out what constituted acceptable writing in each classroom, and how he worked to produce it. Also presented are conclusions about what enhanced or denied his success in communicating competently in unfamiliar academic territories. Affecting his success were unarticulated social aspects of classroom contexts for writing as well as explicitly stated requirements and instructions.

Machine learning expert and programmer with "music intelligence" company The Echo Nest, Glenn McDonald has used Echo Nest data to develop a clickable music genre map. The map is generated by an unpublished algorithm, but McDonald suggests on his blog that it is arranged according to axes that generally place low-energy music at the bottom left and high-energy music at the top right. Click on a genre to hear an excerpt from a song within that genre, or click the ">>" symbol next to the genre to see a similar clickable map of artists within that genre.

Crowdfunding is a novel mechanism for garnering monetary support from the online public, and increasingly it is being used to fund science. This article reports a small-scale study examining science-focused crowdfunding proposals from Kickstarter.com. By exploring the rhetoric of these proposals with respect to traditional grant funding proposals in the sciences, this study aims to understand how the language of science may be imported into this popular genre.

The volume “Genres on the Web” has been designed for a wide audience, from the expert to the novice. It is a required book for scholars, researchers and students who want to become acquainted with the latest theoretical, empirical and computational advances in the expanding field of web genre research. The study of web genre is an overarching and interdisciplinary novel area of research that spans from corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, NLP, and text-technology, to web mining, webometrics, social network analysis and information studies. This book gives readers a thorough grounding in the latest research on web genres and emerging document types. The book covers a wide range of web-genre focussed subjects, such as: • The identification of the sources of web genres • Automatic web genre identification • The presentation of structure-oriented models • Empirical case studies One of the driving forces behind genre research is the idea of a genre-sensitive information system, which incorporates genre cues complementing the current keyword-based search and retrieval applications.

The blog illustrates well the constant change that characterizes electronic media. With a rapidity equal to that of their initial adoption, blogs became not a single genre but a multiplicity. To explore the relationship between the centrifugal forces of change and the centripetal tendencies of recurrence and typification, we extend our earlier study of personal blogs with a contrasting study of the kairos, technological affordances, rhetorical features, and exigence for what we call public affairs blogs. At the same time, we explore the relationship between genre and medium, examining genre evolution in the context of changing technological affordances. We conclude that genre and medium must be distinguished and that the aesthetic satisfactions of genre help account for recurrence in an environment of change.

Genre marks large-scale repeated patterns of meaning in human symbolic production and interaction. Approaches to genre can be divided into the formalistthematic, attending to categories and discriminations based on linguistic or textual elements and drawing from cognitive theories; and the pragmatic, attending primarily to use-patterns drawing from social theories of function, action, and communal interaction. This overview draws from disciplines explicitly concerned with natural language, including literature, rhetoric, and several areas of linguistics. A distinction between rational and empirical approaches to genre affects both how genre is conceived and what methods are used for analysis. The rational approach grounds genre in a principle or theory determined by the theorist, yielding a relatively small, closed set of genres; the empirical grounds genre in the experience of those for whom genres are significant, yielding an historically changing, open set of genres. Genre analysis is applied in many discourse disciplines and for a variety of purposes, both descriptive and prescriptive.

This volume explores cultural innovation and transformation as revealed through the emergence of new media genres. New media have enabled what impresses most observers as a dizzying proliferation of new forms of communicative interaction and cultural production, provoking multimodal experimentation, and artistic and entrepreneurial innovation. Working with the concept of genre, scholars in multiple fields have begun to explore these processes of emergence, innovation, and stabilization. Genre has thus become newly important in game studies, library and information science, film and media studies, applied linguistics, rhetoric, literature, and elsewhere. Understood as social recognitions that embed histories, ideologies, and contradictions, genres function as recurrent social actions, helping to constitute culture. Because genres are dynamic sites of tension between stability and change, they are also sites of inventive potential. Emerging Genres in New Media Environments brings together compelling papers from scholars in Brazil, Canada, England, and the United States to illustrate how this inventive potential has been harnessed around the world.

This study investigated the links between the preference for 4 rap music genres (American rap, French rap, hip hop/soul, and gangsta/hardcore rap) and 5 types of deviant behaviors in adolescence (violence, theft, street gangs, mild drug use, and hard drug use). The effects of peers' deviancy, violent media, and importance given to lyrics were statistically controlled. A self-report questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 348 bilingual French-Canadian adolescents (age: M = 15.32; SD = 0.9; 185 girls and 163 boys). Results indicated that rap music as a whole was linked to deviant behaviors, however the nature of the relation differed according to genres. Preference for French rap had the strongest links to deviant behaviors, whereas preference for hip hop/soul was linked to less deviant behaviors. Results are discussed within the psychosocial and sociocognitive perspectives on music influence in adolescence and also within the perspective of normative deviant behaviors in adolescence.

Methodologically,we studied the web browser history of the participant, classifying all the web pages he had seen over a period of 12 days
into web genres. We interviewed him before and after the analysis of the web browser history. In the first interview, he
spoke about his general information behavior; in the second, he commented on each web genre, explaining why and
how he used them. As a result, three approaches allow us to describe the set of 23 web genres obtained: (a) the purposes
they serve for the participant; (b) the role they play in the various work and search phases; (c) and the way they are used in
combination with each other. Further observations concern the way the participant assesses quality of web-based
resources, and his information behavior as a software engineer.

'Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,' Musical Genre, and the Misrecognitions of Hybridity."0 aHickHop Hooray Honky Tonk Badonkadonk Musical Genre and the Misr c20110 v283 a

This paper takes the country music song and video ‘‘Honky Tonk Badonkadonk’’ as a case study of the deeply ambivalent potentials of hybridity in contemporary culture. ‘‘Badonkadonk’’ was celebrated by some as joining hip hop and country music to create a ‘‘hybrid,’’ a type of cultural text valorized in various intellectual and popular discourses as both embodying and advancing progressive social values such as antiracism and antiemperialism. This essay, however, uses close reading and an account of ‘‘Badonkadonk’s’’context within country music’s generic selfconstruction to expose the conflicted nature of the text’s hybridity, which includes substantial reactionary and essentialist elements. ‘‘Badonkadonk’’ caters to American culture’s growing embrace of hybridity while continuing twentieth century efforts to downplay country music’s racially hybrid roots.

This instance highlights problems in concepts such as hybridity and cosmopolitanism. This includes the crucial distinction between consciously hybrid works of art or culture, and the less consciously hybrid objects that emerge ‘‘naturally’’ from the mixing of cultures. The rise of selfconsciously hybrid culture and the celebration of hybridity have been partially enabled by contemporary academic theories of hybridity’s progressivism. The essay concludes by highlighting some of the strategic and philosophical shortcomings of such selfconscious hybridism.

When doing research on design and genre development in digital media and for mobile platforms based on a combination of analysis and practical development, integrating the different aspects in a coherent model presents a challenge. This article outlines such a model, in which design is key to understanding the relationships between technology, genre, and practical development. The model is based on research on digital media and practical development of services for mobile devices. Overall, the model contributes to a methodology that combines genre studies and design-related research.

Media forms play a vital role in making cultural and political sense of the complex economic developments and profound ideological uncertainties which have accompanied the global recession. This article analyses how popular genre cinema tackles the inequalities – in particular, gender inequalities – that follow from the financial crisis, situating Hollywood’s representational strategies in the context of recessionary media culture. It posits and analyses two sub-genres which demonstrate different approaches to an altered socio-economic climate: the recessionary ‘chick flick’ and the corporate melodrama. Amid the financial crisis these sub-genres shift emphasis to respond to changing circumstances, notably in relation to the once-ubiquitous trope of choice central to post-feminist media culture; neoliberal choice rhetoric is now considerably harder to maintain. The two case studies contrast the different ways in which female-centred chick flicks and male-centred corporate melodramas address unemployment, downward mobility and the challenges of work–life balance.

Music Genres and Corporate Cultures explores the seemingly haphazard workings of the music industry, tracing the uneasy relationship between economics and culture; `entertainment corporations' and the artists they sign. Keith Negus examines the contrasting strategies of major labels like Sony and Polygram in managing different genres, artists and staff. How do takeovers affect the treatment of artists? Why has Polygram been perceived as too European to attract US artists? And how did Warner's wooden floors help them sign Green Day? Through in-depth case studies of three major genres; rap, country, and salsa, Negus explores the way in which the music industry recognises and rewards certain sounds, and how this influences both the creativity of musicians, and their audiences. He examines the tension between raps public image as the spontaneous `music of the streets' and the practicalities of the market, and asks why country labels and radio stations promote top-selling acts like Garth Brooks over hard-to-classify artists like Mary Chapin-Carpenter, and how the lack of soundscan systems in Puerto Rican record shops affects salsa music's position on the US Billboard chart. Drawing on over seventy interviews with music industry personnel in Britain and the United States, Music Genres and Corporate Cultures shows how the creation, circulation and consumption of popular music is shaped by record companies and corporate business styles while stressing that music production takes within a broader culture, not totally within the control of large corporations.

The clinical case report is a popular genre in medical writing. While authors and editors have debated the justification for the clinical case report, few have attempted to examine the long history of this genre in medical literature. By reviewing selected literature and presenting and discussing excerpts of clinical case reports from Egyptian antiquity to the 20th century, we illustrate the presence of the genre in medical science and how its form developed. Central features of the clinical case report in different time periods are discussed, including its main components, structure, style and author presence.

This article examines one of the most popular computer games The Sims to consider whether the shared understanding of the game's "rules' can be understood through the concept of genre. The main argument is that the genre being used is "real life'. The game's creators are assuming the players share with them, and with each other, an understanding of real life, which can be transposed into the game world. The article explores this notion of a real-life narrative that is shared, by considering the ways in which family and other relationships are both conceptualized and played out in the game. Whilst real life as genre is problematized here, the tensions and conflicts of contemporary real-world conceptualizations of family and other relationships do appear to be represented in the game. What is interesting then, given this, are the ways in which players negotiate the gameplay. The article concludes by suggesting that players are active agents negotiating both the game' s version of real life, and their own real-world experiences.

Drawing on bibliometric methods (citation analysis and content analysis) and literature review, this paper offers some critical reflections of how genre analysis has been used, applied, expanded and refined to address the challenges of a culturally and linguistically diverse academic and research community. The first reflection opens with a brief review of the privileged status of English as the international language of academic and research communication to discuss contrasting scholarly positions that regard ‘Englishization’ as either ‘help’ or ‘hindrance’. The second reflection focuses on rhetorical move analysis, an aspect of genre theory that to date has been little considered outside ESP/EAP traditions of genre analysis. It discusses how move analysis, in cross-fertilization with various theoretical/analytical frameworks, can add to our understanding of the way L2 academic English writers accomplish meso- and micro-rhetorical manoeuvres. The final reflection touches upon the impact of internationalization and research assessment policies on the current knowledge exchange, dissemination and publication practices to emphasize the value of the Swalesian task-based approach and advocate a multiliterate rhetorical consciousness-raising pedagogy. The paper concludes with some suggestions for future genre research and proposes ways of articulating cogent language instructional intervention to empower members of bi-/multiliterate academic and research communities professionally.

This article compares the Article of the Future (AofF) prototypes (<http://www.articleofthefuture.com/>) with a corpus of journal articles (Journal Article Corpus – JAC) to demonstrate that the article genre in an online environment is a “stabilised-for-now or stabilised-enough” site for social interaction (Schryer, 1994, p. 108). Results show that the prototypes adhere to the typical structural patterns of the JAC texts, while also embedding discernible structural variations across the disciplinary spectrum. They display generic stability concerning authors’ use of intertextuality for framing their texts in a social/institutional context. Comparison of the AofF with the JAC texts also illustrates a similar lexicogrammatical profile. Consistent with previous literature, recurring bundles in the AofF prototypes are associated with structural elaboration, complexity and a compressed style, and perform referential, text-organising and stance functions in the discourse. Complementing corpus findings, an exploratory survey of authors suggests that their actual text-composing/reading practices of online articles are governed by the long-established communicative purposes of the genre. Findings suggest, though, that the new online part-genres (research highlights, graphical abstracts, interactive graphs, embedded videos, hyperlinks), potential strategies for generic change, might be changing the writers’ perceptions towards online articles. The article concludes with some practical implications for ESP practitioners.

This paper describes a corpus-based approach to teaching and learning spoken grammar for English for Academic Purposes with reference to Bhatia's (2002) multi-perspective model for discourse analysis: a textual perspective, a genre perspective and a social perspective. From a textual perspective, corpus-informed instruction helps students identify grammar items through statistical frequencies, collocational patterns, context-sensitive meanings and discoursal uses of words. From a genre perspective, corpus observation provides students with exposure to recurrent lexico-grammatical patterns across different academic text types (genres). From a social perspective, corpus models can be used to raise learners' awareness of how speakers' different discourse roles, discourse privileges and power statuses are enacted in their grammar choices. The paper describes corpus-based instructional procedures, gives samples of learners' linguistic output, and provides comments on the students' response to this method of instruction. Data resulting from the assessment process and student production suggest that corpus-informed instruction grounded in Bhatia's multi-perspective model can constitute a pedagogical approach in order to i) obtain positive student responses from input and authentic samples of grammar use, ii) help students identify and understand the textual, genre and social aspects of grammar in real contexts of use, and therefore iii) help develop students' ability to use grammar accurately and appropriately.

In the past decades, the EAP field has witnessed a growing interest in compiling multilingual corpora of various sizes. The aim has been to investigate how scholars whose first language is not English use English for academic and research communication. This flourishing field of investigation, cutting across a broad repertoire of genres, has been fuelled by the fact that the international academic and research arena has strongly favoured the role of English as the medium for communication (Lillis/Curry 2010; Mauranen 2012). However, this field of investigation has not yet become a matter of conceptual enquiry. To fill this gap, the aim of this chapter is (i) to critically review the main research trends used to analyse genres by means of multilingual corpora, (ii) to examine the reasons for the paucity of systematic contrastive analyses at the phraseological level for profiling L2 English academic texts and defining what an ‘expert’ academic L2 English user is, and (iii) to discuss the challenges that conducting large-scale empirical studies of academic English variants in the written domain would pose if codification of those variants were undertaken. Essentially, in what follows I critically assess relevant concepts in contrastive studies of EAP, address emerging methodological trends and reflect on a number of topics of current interest in relation to multilingual corpora. To do so I will draw on a combination of literature survey, bibliometric data and conceptual analysis, the purpose being two-fold. Firstly, it is of interest to the EAP scholarly community to determine how multilingual corpora can best help EAP researchers identify genre features across cultures and languages. Secondly, given its obvious practical implications, it is also of interest to show how EAP teachers can make research-informed decisions based on multilingual corpora with a view to catering to their students’ learning needs in the best possible way.

There is little dispute that technologies are impacting academic communication today, rendering new forms of accessing information and disseminating knowledge. To explore this impact, in the first part of the paper I review a selection of scholarly literature that addresses ways in which digital technologies are shifting the scholars’ information access behavior and introducing new forms of research dissemination. I also discuss how these new forms of communication are modeling new ecologies of genre systems and genre sets. In the second part of the paper I conduct genre analysis with a sample corpus of texts from different disciplines to illustrate how the emergence of new multimedia genres and the use of multimodality, hypertextuality and interdiscursivity features in genres within electronic environments appear to be pointing at generic evolution and innovation. In light of the findings, I propose some areas in which genre research can engage in interdisciplinary conversation (with ethnography, academic/digital literacies studies, situated genre analysis and reception studies). Regarding EAP instruction, I suggest a pedagogy that provides corpus-based linguistic and rhetorical input on the new genre formats, opportunities for noticing, hands-on practice and critical awareness of aspects of genre innovation and change.

Voloshinov and Bakhtin’s expansive view of genres as concrete, historical phenomena, theirlinkage of dialogic semiotics (discourse) to the formation of individuals and societies (development), has been taken up in North American genre theory as an invitation to explore relations between genre and sociocultural theories (e.g., of Vygotsky, Schutz, Latour, Bourdieu), to see genres not as isolated texts/events but as forged within systems and chains of discourse woven into mediated activity (e.g., Bazerman; Berkenkotter; Prior; Russell), and to challenge the privileging of public texts by identifying genres that are occluded (Swales) or designed to mediate activity (Spinuzzi). Research has focused on semiotic dimensions of genres (e.g. Kress, Lemke), and situated analyses (e.g., Berkenkotter; Kamberelis; Prior) have investigated ways that literate activity involves laminated, multimodal chains of talk, visual representations, gestures, actions, artifacts, and writing. This presentation argues for the notion of mediated multimodal genre systems both theoretically and empirically.

Genre will be seen
to be not just a useful metaphor, but an important analytical tool in approaching the
analysis of museum exhibitions as texts. Two concurrent exhibitions from a science
and technology museum are compared in terms of genre, and it is argued that genre
is a useful tool for identifying their distinctive social purposes. It is also noted that
the unique nature of these complex, three-dimensional, multimodal texts requires
some of the linguistic understandings of genre to be adapted. Connections are made
both ‘below’, to aspects of register variation, and ‘above’, to the ideological stance and
communicative potential of the museum as a whole as a communicative entity.

This article turns to genre theory’s recent explorations of uptake, broadly defined as the ways genres interact, as a resource forsketching a pedagogy of shuttling between genres. Using uptake, I intend to reconceptualize multimodal compositions as a meansof participating in rhetorical ecologies that consist of transactions between genres instead of thinking of remixes as an end inthemselves. In this article, I first define the concept of uptake in detail and discuss its use in rhetorical genre studies. After furtherillustrating uptake through an analysis of transactions between YouTube parodies and the 2005 German language film Downfall, Idiscuss existing scholarship in multimodal composition that draws on genre but not the idea of uptake in order to lay a foundation fora pedagogy that highlights the links, feedbacks, and rules that coordinate genres. My aim in the last section is to sketch possibilitiesfor how teachers and students can deploy the concept of uptake as a rhetorical tool to strengthen their awareness of genre andmultimodality. In doing this, I hope to reposition multimodal projects as beginnings or midpoints that lead to students’ emersioninto public discourse rather than culminations or end goals in themselves. Integrating studies of uptake into writing curricula in thisway will help students to make sophisticated rhetorical decisions in the age of media convergence.

We introduce the notions of Web genre type which constitutes the basic

The present research examined the content and validity of stereotypes about fans of 14 different music genres (e.g. country, rap, rock). In particular, we focused on stereotypes concerning fans’ personalities (e.g. extraversion, emotional stability), personal qualities (e.g. political beliefs, athleticism), values (e.g. for peace, for wisdom), and alcohol and drug preferences (e.g. wine, hallucinogens). Previous research has shown that music is linked to a variety of psychological characteristics, that music is used to convey information about oneself to observers, and that observers can infer personality on the basis of music preferences. Guided by such research, we predicted and found that individuals have robust and clearly defined stereotypes about the fans of various music genres (Study 1), and that many of these music-genre stereotypes possess a kernel of truth (Study 2). Discussion focuses on the potential role of music-genre stereotypes in self-expression and impression formation.

games and gender mutually constitute each other.The study
focused on adult women with particular attention to differences
in level of play, as well as genre preferences.Three levels of game
consumption were identified. For power gamers, technology and
gender are most highly integrated.These women enjoy multiple
pleasures from the gaming experience, including mastery of
game-based skills and competition. Moderate gamers play games
in order to cope with their real lives.These women reported
taking pleasure in controlling the gaming environment, or
alternately that games provide a needed distraction from
the pressures of their daily lives. Finally, the non-gamers who
participated in the study expressed strong criticisms about
game-playing and gaming culture. For these women, games are a waste of time, a limited commodity better spent on other
activities.

As far as tv is concerned, this orientation focuses our attention (1) on the (psychological) processes of concept formation (e.g. genre-concepts like ‘detective show’, ‘tv news’, ‘situation comedy’, etc.), on the establishment of appropriate schemata, frames and the like; (2) on the structure of such media-specific genre-concepts, and (3) on the uses made of those concepts in the domain of production (e.g. by producers, directors, actors etc.) on the one hand and in the domain of reception (e.g. by tv-viewers) on the other hand. Accordingly, the article presents a brief introduction to some of the main elements of a theory of cognition, of social interaction and communication of cognitive systems. This theoretical basis will then be employed in the construction of models of media systems, media use and genre schemata. The uses of genre-concepts will be analyzed with respect to production (public tv-broadcasting-corporations), mediation (e.g. tv guides and announcements and reception (tv viewers' genre-concepts).10acognition10agenre10aTV1 aRusch, Gebhard uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/cognition-media-use-genres-socio-psychological-aspects-media-and-genres-tv-and-tv-genres01773nas a2200241 4500008004100000245007200041210006900113260000900182300001400191490000700205520107600212653001301288653001401301653001601315653001301331653001001344653001401354653001101368653001301379653001401392100002201406856010301428 1997 eng d00aRethinking Genre in School and Society: An Activity Theory Analysis0 aRethinking Genre in School and Society An Activity Theory Analys c1997 a504–5540 v143 aThe relation between writing in formal schooling and writing in other social practicesis a central problem in writing research (e.g., critical pedagogy, writing in nonacademic
settings, cognition in variable social contexts). How do macro-level social and political
structures (forces) affect micro-level literate actions in classrooms and vice versa? To
address these questions, the author synthesizes Yrjo Engestrom's systems version of
Vygotskian cultural-historical activity theory with Charles Bazerman's theory of genre
systems. The author suggests that this synthesis extends Bakhtinian dialogic theory by
providing a broader unit of analysis than text-as-discourse, wider levels of analysis than
the dyad, and an expanded theory of dialectic. By tracing the intertextual relations among
disciplinary and educational genre systems, through the boundary of classroom genre
systems, one can construct a model of ways classroom writing is linked to writing in
wider social practices and rethink such issues as agency, task representation, and
assessment.

those dimensions have changed over the years, to identify different types of state home pages,
and to see how these types have changed. We found that three primary dimensions explain the
variation in perceptions of home pages. These are the layout of the page, its navigation
support, and its information density. Over the years, variation in navigation support declined
and variation in information density increased. We discovered that four types of state
government home page have existed continuously from 1997 to 2001. These are the ‘Long List
of Text Links’, the ‘Simple Rectangle’, the ‘Short L’, and the ‘High Density/Long L’. To this
taxonomy, two other page types can be added: the ‘Portal’ page and the ‘Boxes’ page. The

In contrast to these approaches this paper aims at a systematic explication of the notion of genre in a science of the media on a constructivist epistemological basis conceiving of genres in terms of cognitive concepts.A constructivist theory of genre concentrates on functions, it strives for homogeneous argumentation, and it tries to establish a general theory of media genres which is able to explain the function of genres in the media in general.

Based on ideas from sociological structuration theory, as well as on
existing blog research, it argues that individual usage episodes are framed by three
structural dimensions of rules, relations, and code, which in turn are constantly
(re)produced in social action. As a result, ‘‘communities of blogging practices’’
emerge-that is, groups of people who share certain routines and expectations about
the use of blogs as a tool for information, identity, and relationship management.
This analytical framework can be the basis for systematic comparative and longitudinal
studies that will further understanding of similarities and differences in blogging
practices.

Using genre and sociocultural theories, the study combines textual analyses of a set of negative letters together with writers' accounts of producing these letters to identify effective (as defined by the company) strategies for composing this correspondence. These letters are examples of generic action, and they demonstrate that genres function as constellations of regulated, improvisational strategies triggered by the interaction between individual socialization and an organization. Moreover, these constellations of resources express a particular chronotopic relation to space and time, and this relation is always axiological or value oriented. In other words, genres express space/time relations that reflect current social beliefs regarding the placement and actions of human individuals in space and time. The article identifies some of the strategies that characterize effective negative messages in this organization. It also critiques this text type for enacting a set of practices and related chronotopic orientation that is against the interests of its readers and writers.10aBourdieu10abusiness letter10aCDA10agenre1 aSchryer, Catherine, F uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/walking-fine-line-writing-negative-news-letters-insurance-company00489nas a2200121 4500008004100000245007700041210006900118300001200187490000700199100002600206700002000232856011500252 2005 eng d00aGenre Theory, Health-Care Discourse, and Professional Identity Formation0 aGenre Theory HealthCare Discourse and Professional Identity Form a249-2780 v191 aSchryer, Catherine, F1 aSpoel, Philippa uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/genre-theory-health-care-discourse-and-professional-identity-formation-000781nas a2200253 4500008004100000245008800041210006900129260000900198300001400207490000700221653000800228653001400236653001000250653001300260653001300273653001400286653001700300653001200317653001100329100002600340700002100366700002400387856011600411 2005 eng d00aTechne or Artful Science and the Genre of Case Presentations in Healthcare Settings0 aTechne or Artful Science and the Genre of Case Presentations in c2005 a234–2600 v7210aart10aeducation10agenre10aidentity10amedicine10aphronesis10aprofessional10ascience10atechne1 aSchryer, Catherine, F1 aLingard, Lorelei1 aSpafford, Marlee, M uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/techne-or-artful-science-and-genre-case-presentations-healthcare-settings00468nas a2200145 4500008004100000245007300041210006900114260000900183300001200192490000700204653001500211653001200226100002600238856005800264 1999 eng d00aGenre Time/Space: Chronotopic Strategies in the Experimental Article0 aGenre TimeSpace Chronotopic Strategies in the Experimental Artic c1999 a81–890 v1910achronotope10ascience1 aSchryer, Catherine, F uhttp://www.jaconlinejournal.com/archives/vol19.1.html00487nas a2200145 4500008004100000245004400041210004300085260003300128300001300161100002600174700001700200700002100217700002200238856008100260 2002 eng d00aGenre and Power: A Chronotopic Analysis0 aGenre and Power A Chronotopic Analysis aCresskill, NJbHampton Press a73–1021 aSchryer, Catherine, F1 aCoe, Richard1 aLingard, Lorelei1 aTeslenko, Tatiana uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/genre-and-power-chronotopic-analysis-000799nas a2200265 4500008004100000245005500041210005500096260008200151300001200233653002000245653001100265653001300276653001000289653001200299653000900311653001400320653001100334100002600345700002100371700002100392700001700413700002200430700001900452856006200471 2003 eng d00aStructure and Agency in Medical Case Presentations0 aStructure and Agency in Medical Case Presentations aFort Collins, CObThe WAC Clearinghouse and Mind, Culture, and Activityc2003 a62–9610aactivity theory10aagency10aBourdieu10agenre10aGiddens10aself10astructure10asystem1 aSchryer, Catherine, F1 aLingard, Lorelei1 aSpafford, Marlee1 aGarwood, Kim1 aBazerman, Charles1 aRussell, David uhttp://wac.colostate.edu/books/selves_societies/index.cfm00563nas a2200181 4500008004100000245005400041210004800095260003700143300001400180653001100194653001000205653001000215653001300225100002600238700002000264700001800284856007900302 1994 eng d00aThe Lab vs. the Clinic: Sites of Competing Genres0 aLab vs the Clinic Sites of Competing Genres aLondonbTaylor and Francisc1994 a105–12410aclinic10agenre10aIMRAD10apractice1 aSchryer, Catherine, F1 aFreedman, Aviva1 aMedway, Peter uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/lab-vs-clinic-sites-competing-genres00442nas a2200109 4500008004100000245007400041210006900115300001200184490000700196100002600203856010300229 2000 eng d00aWalking a Fine Line: Writing Negative Letters in an Insurance Company0 aWalking a Fine Line Writing Negative Letters in an Insurance Com a445-4970 v141 aSchryer, Catherine, F uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/walking-fine-line-writing-negative-letters-insurance-company01102nas a2200169 4500008004100000245003000041210003000071250000600101260003100107300001600138520061700154653002200771100002600793700002200819700002300841856006800864 2010 eng d00aGenre Theory and Research0 aGenre Theory and Research a3 aTaylor & FrancisbNew York a1934–19423 a

This entry provides overviews on current genre theory and research that investigates texts in their social
contexts. Specifically, the entry focuses on relevant theory in Rhetorical genre studies and Linguistics and
provides illustrations from applied studies in Professional Communication and Composition research.
Since much current research in genre theory utilizes social theories that deal with questions of structure
and agency, relevant theories in that area are reviewed as well. Finally, the entry notes some of the
pedagogical implications of genre research.

In recent years, food has played an increasingly prominent role in the mainstream media in a variety of ways. As one manifestation of this trend, “food films” have coalesced into a bona fide genre in contemporary popular culture. In this essay, I seek to contribute to the growing conversation regarding the symbolic role and rhetorical function of mediated representations of food. In an analysis of three films of that genre—Like Water for Chocolate, Chocolat, and Woman on Top—I argue that these films are unified not only insofar as they feature food but also, and more importantly, with respect to how they use food to engage and assuage anxieties attendant to contemporary cultural ambiguities and permeabilities, especially around race/ethnicity and gender. Specifically, I contend that these films offer food as a rhetorical device through which discourses of privilege are reconciled with and restabilised against contemporary practices of desire and consumption, especially (and increasingly) for and of the “Other.”

This article details the impact of online databases, proquest in particular, on composition research. When distinguishing different online texts, students often encounter research and documentation difficulties, indicating a need for more instruction that addresses new literacies emerging from the current transitional age of electronic and print cultures. I present new evaluative methods for online documents that utilize knowledge of online genres, information retrieval processes, and metaphoric imagery. As students research, they are not equipped with adequate knowledge of Web genres and need a metaphorical framework with which they can understand the ways different texts operate in virtual spaces.

A ‘shreds’ video combines existing live music concert footage, predominantly including a famous male rock guitarist or guitar based rock group, with a self-produced overdubbed soundtrack. The result is a musical parody that exists in an intersection between production and consumption and works as a within-genre evolution. The shred is controversial and its most popular instalments have been pulled from YouTube on claims of copyright infringement. This paper examines shreds as a form of multimodal intertextual critique by engaging with the videos themselves, as well as audience responses to them. As such, the applied method is genre analysis and multimodal semiotics geared towards the analysis of intertextual elements. The paper shows how prodused parody exists as a co-dependence between: (1) production and consumption; (2) homage and subversion; (3) comprehension and miscomprehension; and (4) media synchronicity and socioeconomic dis/harmony. The paper also discusses how shreds can be interpreted as tampered-with gender performances. In conclusion, it becomes clear that the produsage of shred videos is part of ‘piracy culture’ because it so carefully balances between the mainstream and counter-culture, between the legal and the illegal, and between the commoditized artefact and networked production.

This is contrasted with the chairman's statement in the established genre of corporate annual reports. The texts in both corpora were issued by British companies. Four categories of metadiscourse are analysed, using terminology from Mauranen (1993). The study indicates that metadiscourse may play a significant role in new genres. The study concludes that writers of the emerging genre of corporate environmental reports use metadiscourse to guide the readers. It also shows that the use of metadiscourse may have distinctly different functions in emerging genres compared to established ones. The categories action markers and previews (local and global) are particularly useful in the comparison of the textual practices of established and emerging genres. Whereas the use of previews in the new genre informs and directs the readers as to the aims and global functions of the documents, in established genres this category may mark a deviation from what the writer sees as the conventional rhetorical (Move–Step) pattern.10acorporate environmental report10aemerging genre10aintroduction10alinguistics10ametadiscourse1 aSkulstad, Aud Solbjørd uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/use-metadiscourse-introductory-sections-new-genre01363nas a2200193 4500008004100000245005300041210005200094260000900146300001200155490000600167520080900173653001800982653001301000653001701013653001301030653001101043100002801054856008701082 1996 eng d00aRhetorical Organization of Chairmen's Statements0 aRhetorical Organization of Chairmens Statements c1996 a43–630 v63 aJ. M. Swales's move-step approach (eg, 1981) to research article introductions is applied to the rhetorical organization of chairmen's statements in annual reports by British companies, drawing on 95 such documents obtained from 93 companies. The proposed relationships & confidence model suggests that these reports make three moves in their introductions: establishing relationships between the chairman, the company, & the readers; maintaining confidence; & reinforcing relationships already established. These moves are described as rhetorical strategies designed to achieve & enhance a particular image of the chairman & the company. It is suggested that the move-step method might be useful for raising the genre awareness of English for specific purpose (ESP) students & for improving ESP courses.10aannual report10abusiness10aintroduction10arhetoric10aSwales1 aSkulstad, Aud Solbjørd uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/rhetorical-organization-chairmens-statements00645nas a2200145 4500008004100000245014500041210006900186260003200255300001400287100001800301700001800319700002200337700002000359856012000379 2008 eng d00aDeveloping a 'Discursive Gaze'': Participatory Action Research with Student Interns Encountering New Genres in the Activity of the Workplace0 aDeveloping a Discursive Gaze Participatory Action Research with aWinnipeg, ManitobabInkshed a241–2791 aSmart, Graham1 aBrown, Nicole1 aArtemeva, Natasha1 aFreedman, Aviva uhttp://http-server.carleton.ca/ nartemev/Artemeva%20&%20Freedman%20Rhetorical%20Genre%20Studies%20and%20beyond.pdf00504nas a2200109 4500008004100000245011600041210006900157300001200226490000700238100001800245856013100263 1999 eng d00aStorytelling in a Central Bank: The Role of Narrative in the Creation and Use of Specialized Economic Knowledge0 aStorytelling in a Central Bank The Role of Narrative in the Crea a249-2730 v131 aSmart, Graham uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/storytelling-central-bank-role-narrative-creation-and-use-specialized-economic-knowledge00438nas a2200109 4500008004100000245011300041210006900154300001400223490000700237100001800244856006600262 2003 eng d00aWhat is 'Good' Technical Communication?

The pace in which this structure began to be used and when it became the most used standard of today's scientific discourse in the health sciences is not well established.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to point out the period in time during which the IMRAD structure was definitively and widely adopted in medical scientific writing.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, the frequency of articles written under the IMRAD structure was measured from 1935 to 1985 in a randomly selected sample of articles published in four leading journals in internal medicine: the British Medical Journal, JAMA, The Lancet, and the New England Journal of Medicine.
Results: The IMRAD structure, in those journals, began to be used in the 1940s. In the 1970s, it reached 80% and, in the 1980s, was the only pattern adopted in original papers.
Conclusions: Although recommended since the beginning of the twentieth century, the IMRAD structure was adopted as a majority only in the 1970s. The influence of other disciplines and the recommendations of editors are among the facts that contributed to authors adhering to it.

that documentation works as a closed system, the authors present
an alternative way of thinking about the texts that make computer
technologies usable for people. Using two historical case studies,
the authors describe how a genre ecologies framework provides
new insights into the complex ways that people use texts to
make sense of computer technologies. The framework is designed
to help researchers and documentors account for contingency,
decentralization, and stability in the multiple texts the people use
while working with computers. The authors conclude by proposing
three heuristic tools to support the work of technical communicators engaged in developing documentation today: exploratory questions, genre
ecology diagrams, and organic engineering.

The utility of metaphor as a visual–rhetorical design framework has diminished dramatically, and continues to erode. Metaphor has two important limitations as it is commonly applied in interface design: (a) metaphors are indexical, pointing to physical artifacts that they represent, and (b) metaphors are static, that is, unwavering in their indexicality. Both assumptions are demonstrably flawed. In this article, I first critically examine metaphor’s limitations as a visual–rhetorical framework for designing, evaluating, and critiquing user interfaces. Next, I outline an alternate framework for visual rhetoric, that of genre ecologies, and discuss how it avoids some of the limitations of metaphor. Finally, I use an empirical study of computer users to illustrate the genre-ecology framework and contrast it with metaphor.

In this paper I
describe four frameworks that have been used to describe
assemblages of genres: genre sets, genre systems, genre
repertoires, and genre ecologies. At first glance, they seem to be
interchangeable, but there are definite and sometimes quite deep
differences among them. I compare and contrast these frameworks
and suggest when each might be most useful.

documentation, interfaces, and annotations – to mediate their
work activities. Unlike other analytical frameworks, the genre
ecology framework has been developed particularly for technical
communication research, particularly in its emphasis on
interpretation, contingency, and stability. Although this
framework shows much promise, it is more of a heuristic than a
formal modeling tool; it helps researchers to pull together
impressions, similar to contextual design’s work models, but it

In this paper, I move toward a formal modeling of genre
ecologies. First, I describe the preliminary results of an
observational study of seven workers in two different functional
teams of a medium-sized telecommunications company (a subset
of a larger, 89-worker study). I use these preliminary results to
develop a model of the genres used by these two teams, how those
genres interconnect to co-mediate the workers’ activities, and the
breakdowns that the workers encounter as genres travel across the
boundaries of the two teams. I conclude by (a) describing how
formal models of genre ecologies can help in planning and
designing computer documentation and (b) discussing how these
models can be further developed.

The utility of metaphor as a visual–rhetorical design framework has diminished dramatically, and continues to erode. Metaphor has two important limitations as it is commonly applied in interface design: (a) metaphors are indexical, pointing to physical artifacts that they represent, and (b) metaphors are static, that is, unwavering in their indexicality. Both assumptions are demonstrably flawed. In this article, I first critically examine metaphor’s limitations as a visual–rhetorical framework for designing, evaluating, and critiquing user interfaces. Next, I outline an alternate framework for visual rhetoric, that of genre ecologies, and discuss how it avoids some of the limitations of metaphor. Finally, I use an empirical study of computer users to illustrate the genre-ecology framework and contrast it with metaphor.

This article identifies common features of a neglected formula, the team film, in which the films invariably overtake the sourcetexts as the dominant form. Surveying adaptations, such as The Great Escape, The Italian Job, The Professionals and The First Great Train Robbery, the article demonstrates how in the team film, particular textual elements are consistently used, re-used and modified in a fashion akin to genre

Reception histories are retrospectives; they look back at publications and ask
who has cited them, how often, when, where and why. This paper takes an
influential 1996 paper on genre analysis and examines how it has played out
intertextually over the 15 years or so since its publication. The main sources used
have been Google Scholar and the Web of Science. The quantitative results show
that it has been primarily, but not exclusively, cited in ESP publications. The
more qualitative aspect of this investigation reveals that its value for most later
commentators lies in its review-article potential to act as an interpretive frame
for subsequent work. The paper ends with a discussion of whether today we
should accept just “three traditions” for genre analysis and its pedagogical
applications or look further afield.

The paper discusses genre theory in the field of e-Democracy. A framework for analysing communicative genres related to four stereotypical e-Democracy models is suggested. A case study of a web based discussion board in a municipality illustrates the implications of applying the genre lens to the e-Democracy research and practice, with lessons learned to considered in the future efforts on e-Democracy. Based on observations from the case, a theoretical concept of autopoietic cybergenre is suggested and its potential significance for future e-Democracy initiatives is addressed. An autopoietic cybergenre, such as a web-based discussion board, includes inherent capability for meta-communication enabling continuous structuring of the purpose(s) and parts of the form of the genre in question itself.

Recent scholarship in genre studies has extended its focus from studying single genres to multiple genres, as well as how these genres interact with one another. This essay seeks to contribute to this growing scholarship by adding a new concept, intermediary genre. That is, a genre that facilitates the “uptake” of a genre by another genre. This concept is designed to reveal a particular aspect of multiple genres: that one genre can be used to connect and mobilize two otherwise unconnected genres to make uptake possible. The concept is illustrated in case study of knowledge mobilization, an instance in which scientific research was used in the judicial system to inform public policies on eyewitness handling and police-lineup procedures. The case study shows how intermediary genres emerge, how they connect other genres, and how knowledge circulates as a result of such connections and affects policy decisions.

"This book attempts to engage directly with the complexities and tensions in genre from both theoretical and pedagogical perspectives. While struggling with questions of why, when, and how different writers can manipulate conventions, Tardy became interested in related research into voice and identity in academic writing and then began to consider the ways that genre can be a valuable tool that allows writing students and teachers to explore expected conventions and transformative innovations. For Tardy, genres aren’t “fixed,” and she argues also that neither genre constraints nor innovations are objective—that they can be accepted or rejected depending on the context." - See more at: http://www.press.umich.edu/5173647/beyond_convention#sthash.dEFIj3AT.dpuf

With genre now viewed as a fundamental element of writing, both second language writing and mainstream composition studies have seen an increased focus on the question of how writers learn genres. The purpose of this paper is to review key findings from 60 empirical studies that have investigated this question. To this point, research has typically studied genre learning as it occurs either through professional or disciplinary practice or through classroom instruction; almost no studies have looked at the same writers as they traverse these multiple domains. I therefore categorize studies as taking place in either ‘‘practice-based’’ or ‘‘instructional’’ settings and identify trends in the research findings from each setting. After examining one study which takes place in multiple settings, I tease out some of the commonalities and distinctions between learning in practice-based and instructional contexts and between first language and second language genre learning. On the basis of this comparative review of research, I suggest future directions for the interdisciplinary study of genre learning.

Performance as a genre allows for alternative mappings, providing a set of strategies and conventions that allow scholars to see practices that scripted genres might occlude. Like other genres, performance encompasses a broad range of rehearsed and codified behaviors, such as dance, theater, music recitals, sports events, and rituals. A performance lens allows scholars to look at acts, things, and ideas as performance. Looking at America as performance might explain why it is difficult to approach it as a disciplinary field of study. What might the shift in genres-from the scripted genres associated with the archive to the live, embodied behaviors that are the repertoire of cultural practices-enable? This essay proposes that an analysis of the performance of America might allow scholars to rethink not only their object of analysis but also their scholarly interactions.

This article offers a way of using the theory of audience design—how speakers position different audience groups as main addressees, overhearers, or bystanders—for written discourse. It focuses on main addressees, that is, those audience members who are expected to participate in and respond to a speaker’s utterances. The text samples are articles, letters, and editorials on women’s suffrage that were published between 1909 and 1912 in Canadian periodicals. In particular, the author analyzes noun phrases with which suffrageskeptical women are addressed, relying on the theory of constitutive rhetoric to highlight the interpellative force with which the audience design of this public political debate operates.

From 1909 onward, the Canadian suffrage debate was heavily influenced by reports on suffrage militancy from Great Britain and the United States. Militancy played an influential role in Canadian suffrage history not through its practice–there was no Canadian militant campaign–but through an ongoing discussion of its meaning. Using Anne Freadman's notions of genre and uptake, this paper analyzes the discursive uptake of suffrage militancy—from news reports on front pages, to commentary on women's pages, to reviews of Emmeline Pankhurst's Canadian speaking engagements. The Canadian debate about militancy is a fertile site for drawing out the roles of genre and uptake in the political positioning of both suffragists and suffrage sceptics. Talk about militancy serves as a way to regulate the uptake of this particular genre of political action, whereby both sides tended to share the optimistic view that Canadian suffragists where not yet in need of militancy.

There is a movement coming out of Latin America identified rather broadly as nueva cancion, or "new song," which combines the musics of different Latin American folk cultural traditions with new renditions of old favorites from urban and mass media venues. Through the mass media these songs of Chile, Brazil, Cuba, and the Hispanic U.S. community-to name the most prominent sources of nueva cancion-reach beyond the borders of the Latin American countries of South and Central America and cultivate audiences throughout the world, among Latino and non-Latino cultural groups alike (see Vigliette 1986). Despite the mass media performance context of nueva cancion, this music embodies more than commercial value for these musicians and critical Latin American scholars. For many of its practitioners nueva cancion symbolizes a search for political, economic, and cultural identity in order to counteract widespread cultural stereotyping, economic domination by transnational corporations, and political manipulation by North American policy.

One of the most rapidly developing and ubiquitous areas on offer in many school curriculums is the study of our physical and digital world; we may refer to this broad area as the study of anthropological technologies. A significant dimension of this field is the study of food technology, which is under pressure to be a source for solutions to world food production. This chapter presents research on how well the school system aligns with the post school demand for the range of skills and knowledge required to meet the complex challenges facing food innovations and production. The findings suggest that far greater clarity and classification methods are needed to help school systems align with post school understandings of what Food Technology knowledge entails. The findings also support a framework known as Technacy Genre Theory as a way to assist identifying the relative similarity between forms of technological knowledge and practice.

The framework of genre systems offers an opportunity to illuminate the ways in which students enculturate into their disciplinary cultures. To explore the ways in which genre chains are constructed through engagement in specific tasks, this study investigates two international students’ development of genre systems in law and MBA programs through the examination of program syllabi and individual student engagement. The findings demonstrate key differences between the programs in expectations and genre sets, as well as illuminating the ways that individuals construct genre systems to mitigate the language challenges that they face. The findings add a thick description to the specific vs. general EAP discussion.

This work is based on a review of three of the main criteria used to classify Hispanic preaching in genres (types of sermons). These criteria have also been used to classify panegyric as a genre of sacred oratory. Establishing differences between classical rhetoric and sacred oratory, this paper will try to define the place of the panegyric in preaching, thus determining in which ways it is possible to speak about genres of the sermon. Key words: sacred oratory, panegyric, discourse, New Spain, 16th and 17th centuries.

This study examined the way in which television genres in the
Netherlands make use of additional communication channels in
terms of interactivity and genre modification and whether the
availability of additional communication channels in genres
corresponds to audience age. Expert interviews were held with
representatives of Dutch broadcasting organizations and a
secondary analysis of Audience Research data was conducted. It
was found that compared to other genres, short message service
(SMS) is added most frequently to reality programmes, email and
websites to the information genre, teletext to sports programmes
and merchandizing to children’s programmes. In addition, it was
found that only SMS is added more often to programmes
attracting a younger audience.The extent to which the additional
communication channels represented real innovation varied from
maintenance to the elaboration and modification of genres.

Hyperlinked documents on the World Wide Web defy easy categorization and evaluation - making the role and value of digital documents difficult to assess. Most importantly, in such fluid and complex environments it is difficult to understand the nature of the interaction between users and information resources. This paper argues that notions such as navigation are limiting our understanding of these complex information spaces. Instead, what is needed is a broader framework of analysis that can embrace these concepts, and incorporate extended issues relating to shared understanding, relevance, and style. In the present paper we explore the utility of the intersection of genre theory and cognitive psychology in providing a meaningful framework for analysis and design purposes. In so doing we report the results of our latest research into the elements of genre that influence users of digital documents and provide examples of the usefulness of this analysis in web-based environments.10adigital10agenre10anavigation10astory1 aVaughan, Misha, W1 aDillon, Andrew u://00007758530005400295nam a2200097 4500008004100000245001700041210001700058260004200075100002500117856005500142 2005 eng d00aFilm Remakes0 aFilm Remakes aNew York, NY, USAbPalgrave Macmillan1 aVerevis, Constantine uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/film-remakes00657nas a2200253 4500008004100000245004400041210004200085260000900127300001400136490000700150653001400157653001100171653001800182653001500200653001000215653001200225653001400237653001300251653000900264653001900273653001000292100002100302856008000323 2002 eng d00aStyle, Rhetoric, and Postmodern Culture0 aStyle Rhetoric and Postmodern Culture c2002 a223–2430 v3510aaesthetic10aagency10acommunitarian10ademocratic10agenre10aHariman10aMaffesoli10arhetoric10aself10asociopolitical10astyle1 aVivian, Bradford uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/style-rhetoric-and-postmodern-culture01618nas a2200217 4500008004100000245006000041210005500101260000900156300001200165490000600177520099300183653000801176653003601184653001601220653001201236653001201248653007201260653001101332100002301343856003401366 2002 eng d00aThe Art of Invective: Performing Identity in Cyberspace0 aArt of Invective Performing Identity in Cyberspace c2002 a51–700 v43 aThis article examines the common computer-mediated communication (CMC) phenomenon of 'flaming' from a rhetorical perspective, situating the phenomenon diachronically in the histories of invective in art and society.

Contemporary genre theory is dominated by metaphors of evolution and speciation; this article proposes alternate metaphors of spatiality and exchange. A spatial understanding of genre permits more productive interactions between literary and rhetorical genre theory. A reading of Robert Burton’s The Anatomy of Melancholy as a multigenred text suggests some of the potentials of this approach.

Montage theory enthrones editing as the essential creative act at the expense of other aspects of film; Bazin's Realist theory, seeking to right the balance, merely substitutes its own imbalance, downgrading montage and artifice; the revolutionary theory centered in Britain on Screen (but today very widespread) rejects-or at any rate seeks to "deconstruct"-Realist art in favor of the so-called "open text." Auteur theory, in its heyday, concentrated attention exclusively on the fingerprints, thematic or stylistic, of the individual artist; recent attempts to discuss the complete "filmic text" have tended to throw out ideas of personal authorship altogether.

We suggest that these patterns reflect the more general processes of explicit and implicit structuring, resulting in both the reinforcement and change of social interaction within communities. Explicit structuring included the planned replication, planned modification, and opportunistic modification of existing genres, while implicit structuring inclided the migration and variation of existing genres. We believe that these two processes provide suggestive models for understanding the initial and ongoing use of new electronic media within a community.10aelectronic media10agenre10aGiddens10aorganization10astructuration1 aYates, JoAnne1 aOrlikowski, Wanda, J1 aOkamura, Kazuo uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/explicit-and-implicit-structuring-genres-electronic-communication-reinforcement-and-change00680nam a2200193 4500008004100000245007700041210006900118260005600187653001200243653001100255653001000266653002700276653001400303653001400317653001500331100001800346700001800364856010400382 1989 eng d00aControl Through Communication: The Rise of System in American Management0 aControl Through Communication The Rise of System in American Man aBaltimore, MDbJohns Hopkins University Pressc198910acontrol10afiling10agenre10ainternal communication10arailroads10atelegraph10atypewriter1 aYates, JoAnne1 aPorter, Glenn uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/control-through-communication-rise-system-american-management00762nas a2200205 4500008004100000245010800041210006900149260005300218300001200271653001400283653001000297653001200307653001500319653001800334100001800352700002200370700001700392700002300409856012400432 2007 eng d00aThe PowerPoint Presentation and Its Corollaries: How Genres Shape Communicative Action in Organizations0 aPowerPoint Presentation and Its Corollaries How Genres Shape Com aAmityville, NYbBaywood Publishing Companyc2007 a67–9110aevolution10agenre10aGiddens10apowerpoint10astructuration1 aYates, JoAnne1 aOrlikowski, Wanda1 aZachry, Mark1 aThralls, Charlotte uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/powerpoint-presentation-and-its-corollaries-how-genres-shape-communicative-action01375nas a2200217 4500008004100000245007100041210006900112260000900181300001200190490000700202520071900209653001800928653001800946653001000964653001100974653000900985653001500994100001801009700002201027856010801049 2002 eng d00aGenre systems: Structuring interaction through communicative norms0 aGenre systems Structuring interaction through communicative norm c2002 a13–350 v393 aIn this paper we demonstrate that teams may use genre systems—sequences of interrelated communicative actions_deliberately or habitually, to structure their collaboration. Using data over a seven-month period from three teams' use of a collaborative electronic technology, Team Room, we illustrate that genre systems are a means of structuring six dimensions of communicative interaction: purpose (why), content (what), participants (who/m), form (how), time (when), and place (where). We suggest that researchers and users may benefit from explicitly recognizing the role genre systems can play in collaboration and from examining changes in these six dimensions accompanying changes in electronic technology.10acollaboration10adigital media10agenre10asystem10ateam10atechnology1 aYates, JoAnne1 aOrlikowski, Wanda uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/genre-systems-structuring-interaction-through-communicative-norms00596nas a2200205 4500008004100000245004800041210004800089260003800137300001100175653001100186653000800197653001400205653001100219653001400230653001000244653001400254100002100268700002200289856007900311 1997 eng d00aDigital Genres and the New Burden of Fixity0 aDigital Genres and the New Burden of Fixity bIEEE Computer Society Pressc1997 a3–1210achange10aCMC10acommunity10acorpus10aevolution10agenre10astability1 aYates, Simeon, J1 aSumner, Tamara, R uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/digital-genres-and-new-burden-fixity00798nas a2200253 4500008004100000245010700041210006900148260000900217300001400226490000700240653001400247653001400261653001000275653001200285653001100297653001000308653001100318653000900329653001800338653001200356100001800368700002200386856013600408 1992 eng d00aGenres of Organizational Communication: A Structurational Approach to Studying Communication and Media0 aGenres of Organizational Communication A Structurational Approac c1992 a299–3260 v1710aemergence10aevolution10agenre10aGiddens10aletter10amedia10amedium10amemo10astructuration10atextual1 aYates, JoAnne1 aOrlikowski, Wanda uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/genres-organizational-communication-structurational-approach-studying-communication-and-media00472nas a2200121 4500008004100000245007100041210006900112300001200181490000700193100001800200700002200218856011000240 2002 eng d00aGenre systems: Structuring interaction through communicative norms0 aGenre systems Structuring interaction through communicative norm a13–350 v391 aYates, JoAnne1 aOrlikowski, Wanda uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/genre-systems-structuring-interaction-through-communicative-norms-000707nas a2200205 4500008004100000245007500041210006900116260003800185300001200223653000800235653001800243653002900261653001700290653001600307653000900323100001800332700002500350700002100375856010500396 1997 eng d00aCollaborative Genres for Collaboration: Genre Systems in Digital Media0 aCollaborative Genres for Collaboration Genre Systems in Digital bIEEE Computer Society Pressc1997 a50–5910aCMC10acollaboration10aelectronic communication10agenre system10aLotus Notes10ateam1 aYates, JoAnne1 aOrlikowski, Wanda, J1 aRennecker, Julie uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/collaborative-genres-collaboration-genre-systems-digital-media01272nas a2200169 4500008004100000245005200041210004800093260000900141490000600150520080600156653001400962653001000976653000900986653001500995100001801010856007401028 1989 eng d00aThe Emergence of the Memo as a Managerial Genre0 aEmergence of the Memo as a Managerial Genre c19890 v23 aThis article traces the historical evolution of the memorandum as a genre of written communicationin American business during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It draws
on published and unpublished materials from the period, including archival materials
from E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company and Scovill Manufacturing Company. The
historical analysis shows that the memo developed from the letter, not for reasons related to
rhetorical theory, but as a practical response to two sets of developments: (I) the emergence
of new managerial theory and techniques, and (2) innovations in the technology of written
communication. The study also reveals a significant lag between the actual emergence of the
genre and its recognition in instructional materials in communication.

This article employs multimodal discourse analysis to explore how mothers represent their everyday experiences of motherhood on Instagram through different forms of self-portraiture. It investigates whether the ‘selfies’ that they share can be characterized as a visual genre and identifies four subgenres: presented, mirrored, inferred and implied selfies. The article illustrates the different ways in which the photographer’s perspective can be represented in each subgenre. The aim is to show that the function of the selfie as a multimodal genre is not solely to represent ‘the self’ but rather to enact intersubjectivity, that is, to generate various possibilities of relations between perspectives on a particular topic, issue, or experience and hence to open up potential for negotiating different points of view.

Genre analysis has been applied to a sizable body of linguistic studies on various text types. However, little attention has been paid to advertorials as an emerging hybridized genre. To identify the generic and linguistic characteristics of advertorials, and therefore to classify advertorials into an appropriate genre, this study carries out a comprehensive genre analysis of advertorials based on Bhatia’s (1993) seven-step genre analysis methodology. A corpus of 55 advertorials was collected from four English-language magazines and two English-language newspapers, from which a sub-corpus of 12 samples was further selected for a thorough examination of linguistic characteristics. Attempting to gain a comprehensive view of generic features of advertorials, this study makes a critical comparison of advertorials with three inextricably related genres: advertisements, news stories and editorials. Linguistic evidence sufficiently demonstrates that advertorials share fundamental generic and linguistic natures with advertisements and proposes classifying advertorials as a sub-genre of advertisements.

This article investigates whether expectations about discourse genre influence the process and products of text comprehension. Ss read texts either with a literary story or with a news story as the purported genre. Subsequently, they verified statements pertaining to the texts. Two experiments demonstrated that Ss reading under a literary perspective had longer reading times, better memory for surface information, and a poorer memory for situational information than those reading under a news perspective. Regression analyses of reading times produced findings that were consistent with the memory data. The results support the notion that readers differentially allocate their processing resources according to their expectations about the genre of a text.

This article has a double scope. First, we consider the dynamics
inherent in the emergence of genres. Our view is that genres emerge relative
to two sets of constraints, which we aim to capture in our double feedback loop
model for the dynamics of genres. On the one hand, (text) genres, or text types,
as we will interchangeably call them, emerge as a variation of already existing
text types. On the other hand, genres develop as a response to the negative
constraints or positive affordances of given situations: that is, either the “exigencies”
of the situation or the new resources available in a situation.
Accordingly, Section 1 is mainly devoted to a characterization of situations
and of the dynamic relation between situational constraints/affordances and
genres. Our main claim is that situations and genres stand in a relation of
mutual scaffolding to each other so that the existence of a text type is not
simply caused by the exigencies present in a given situation, but, once emerged,
also feeds back into the situation, further stabilizing or consolidating it: hence,
the use of the term “feedback loop.” Section 2 is a more detailed discussion of
the dynamics of genres with a particular focus on the first feedback loop: the
way genres develop as deviations from existing text types and then stabilize as
text types proper with a normative import. The second scope of this article
consists in developing a typological apparatus consistent with the dynamic
approach to the emergence of genres. This is our parameter theory of genres
presented in Section 3. Here we consider genres as governed by parameters
external to them and intrinsic to the situations they are dynamically related to.
Genres should thus be understood not simply in terms of inherent textual or
formal traits, but also relative to a certain set of situational parameters and
relative to the degree to which they are governed by them.
